Can we get a count of how many GOPers made it into office without cheating (either on their spouse or the electoral process)?

If I knew that it wouldn’t flip Massachusetts red, I’d be for giving Maine back to them.

I suspect there’s “A Woman Scorned” story in there somewhere.

“In this political climate where the media does not discriminate between facts and rumors, it is hard to be a public figure. I am not a perfect person. I have made many mistakes in my past. I have also, in the past been the victim of some very damaging rumors,” he told the local WGME.

And he was considered one of the Maine GOP’s best and brightest. Clearly a dishonest twit.

Some people in the northern part of Maine already call the southern part Northern Massachusetts. Since that is the liberal part of Maine we would take them back and it would not move the ideological needle of MA at all. To your other post WGME is the Portland station owned by Sinclair Broadcasting. Shocking I know.

I was going to highlight the same quote:

In this political climate where the media does not discriminate between facts and rumors, it is hard to be a public figure.

The great unifying theme of the GOP these days–always playing the victim–even when they are caught red handed with their pants down and their hand in the cookie jar (or whatever other mixed metaphor you like).

" I am not a perfect person. I have made many mistakes in my past. I
have also, in the past been the victim of some very damaging rumors,”

Hello all you little people in TPM land. Due to a recent hearing that took place in a courtroom where a judge and I happened to both be in it, I’d like to read the following statement:
I am not a perfect Crow. And if, in my innocence, I inadvertently hacked the bank accounts of other TPM users by using their pet names they put as passwords, thus causing a financial transfer of modest sums of money to my bank account - I implore you to look upon this as a childish wealth re-allocation effort, and not a ‘crime’ or ‘stealing’. I have been the victim of damaging rumors, and these hurt me. I did not knock over the stroller with the infant in it as I exited swiftly from the mom-and-pop store with a bag of fritos that I forgot to pay for. I hate fritos. It was a bag of cookies. And since an over excited media said it was fritos - FAKE NEWS. You are welcome.

Is there something in the water in Maine? I used to tell myself Paul LePage was an outlier but I’m beginning to suspect he represented the people of his state with some degree of accuracy.
