The Dems seem well funded in Maine

[ishmael]

They've been going after the Rebublican challenger for the governor's office hammer and tong. I haven't decided how to vote, and let the ads roll off my back. Things seem to be going pretty well with the current Democrat, Baldaci, so I imagine he'll be re-elected. But the ads have been running ten to one against Woodcock, the neck and neck challenger. Baldaci seems a good schmoozer. He shows up at any photo op. He also seems a pretty genuine guy. Woodcock is probably more my flavor. More retiring, more libertarian and conservative. Even though he's getting hammered in the ads, the last poll I saw had them even.

Interesting. Who was it said, "As Maine goes, so goes the nation." I have a month plus a little to learn more. If other Mainer's can help me out, I'd appreciate it.

Here's a little guide to help you:

Republican=Spawn of Satan.

You'll be wrong once in a while, but these days, not often.

Don't like the environment much.. vote Woodcock.
Get off the TV and look this guy over real good.

"As Maine goes, so goes the nation." Not this year.
Think about the facts, 10 to 1 against. Think about that.

I just want to learn more about the men I'm voting on. I know a little about Baldaci. A native son who ran his family restaurant in Bangor for years, a fiscal moderate, liberal on various other issues. Woodcock is an unknown, to me. I need to get up to speed before the ballot.
