How abot Baldacci?nHe got less votes than LePage.nAcording to your logic Baldacci should not have been the Governor of Maine either. nnHere are the facts:nBaldacci won in 2006 by 38.11% of the votes with 209,297 votesnLePage won in 2010 by 38.33% of the vote with 216,761 votesnYou probably are not aware that democrats in Maine lost both Houses, too.nnYou conveniently skipped these facts (I am assuming you knew that much)!!!n

Can you though account for the 62% that did not vote for your previous Governor? Do your homework so your own logic does not kill your own argument.

You forget that Baldacci in 2006 was elected with less votes than LePage. Was baldacci a moron, too? nAccording to your logic, Yes.

Your absolutely right, We need campaign finance reform, and we need it yesterday! If we want to even give our government a prayer at being effective we’ve got to start at the beginning of the process. nnDeath of Publicly funded campaigns.nnIn 2008 President Obama raised half a billion dollars from private corporations. John McCain opted for the bipartisan, voter funded 84 million. nnAccepting the public funds and running a publicly funded campaign has become a losers campaign, because as Obama demonstrated it has become possible to raise astronomically greater amounts of funds privately. nnThe Principle of it all.nnThough I identify with a side I’m not taking it here. I’m challenging the entire system. In 2008 the two major candidates spent a combined 633 million dollars on Media coverage. A reported 539 million was spend on “administrative” duties. A total of 587 million was additionally spent on campaign expenses, contributions, fundraisers, and other. (source, Center for Responsive Politics). nnI would only describe myself as a moderately fiscally conscious American, but these figures are disgusting and frightening. It should not take these gross amounts of dollars to explain points of views to voting Americans.nnOnly the extremely wealthy can even afford to think about running. nnThis flawed system shoos away the most qualified candidates.nnWhy are bipartisan mediated debates, reasonable caps on finance spending (Maybe start with a suggestion of keeping millions of dollars to 8 digits…), and a crackdown on dirty/smear campaigns so hard to concieve?nnREFORM IN ’12!nn

Hahaha, cuz objectifying men is so funny!

I live in Texas. That’s all I need to say.

Is there any way Maine can be made a part of Massachusetts again?

You better believe it. If that were the case he would be demanding that the government pay for all care with no questions asked and no co-pay. Government run health care would be great (but only for that one condition).
