If you have been watching the daily polls, you know that Democrat Mike Michaud is a few points ahead of Republican Gov. Paul LePage and independent Eliot Cutler is lagging.

If your plan is to vote for Cutler, let’s face it: Your man is already out. That’s disappointing and very sad. But at this point, it’s irrelevant as to who would be a better governor, Michaud or Cutler. The race is now Michaud or LePage.

But don’t not vote! Do this: Right before you vote, check the polls to be sure Cutler is still out.

Then get into the voting booth, slap yourself across the face, hold your nose and vote for Michaud. It will cement the welcome exit of Gov. LePage – a rosy outlook for the state of Maine.
