Discussion: Indy Candidate Bizarrely Calls Presser To Tell Voters He's Not Dropping Out

Same affliction Senator King suffers from.

He can’t quit, then he would lose all the Koch money he has been getting.

He was out ā€œpressing the fleshā€ yesterday in my small town. His handshake was too firm and forceful, I felt like that Alaskan woman that confronted Don King. His overzealous friendliness bordered on hostility.

Michaud was in today. Again a little too log a handshake but an intensity in the eyes that wasn’t hostile.

We need instant run off elections, and elections like this just drive that fact home.

I never took Latin, which is why it sounds impressive to me, but somehow I was expecting a ā€œquisā€ and/or an ā€œipsosā€ in there somewhere.

Cutler doesn’t seem like the type to take a bribe or job offer. He is, however, very stubborn and self righteous.

Not so bizarre when you figure in that if his collusion with LePage and the RGA are to help LePage get re-elected, he needs to be out front and center yelling about his candidacy. Calling a press conference to draw attention to himself and reassure voters that he’s still there to spoil Michaud’s run makes perfect sense in that context.

FOLLOW THE MONEY.
I’ll bet anything he just had a large ā€œconsulting feeā€ dropped into his bank account from Americans for Prosperity or The Heritage Foundation.

I know this. Did you not catch the quotes on ā€œdonationā€? But yeah, I’m also talking about people who donated to and support LePage giving this tool money as well as a way of supporting LePage.

The annoying thing about independent candidates is that for all they complain about major party politicians being in it for themselves, their campaigns usually come down to pure ego.

I live in northern NH just three miles from the Maine border–I can see into Maine as I type! (My name is not Palin!) Lots of my friends are Mainiacs. Eliot Cutler is an idiot. He has absolutely no chance of winning, yet he would rather a low-life piece of racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-labor drek gets elected than to drop out. Idiot!
