Now is the time for the
Now is the time for the Republican Party to publicly distance itself from LePage. He has already alienated the legislature, and more and more of the electorate is likely beginning to recognize him as the buffoon that he is. Unfortunately, doing that would be tricky. Some of his ideas appeal to the majority of voters, especially in the areas of welfare reform and taxation, but the man himself is a liability. The tricky part is repudiating his actions without denigrating all of the programs he espoused. He's rendered himself completely ineffective as the leader of the Party. He's lost the power of the bully pulpit. The legislature will have to muddle through the rest of the 127th and all of the 128th sessions. If Eves wins his civil suit, it will get even worse.

Sadly, the Maine Republican
Sadly, the Maine Republican Committee is behind the Governor right or wrong. The committee is more comfortable distancing themselves from the Maine people. Besides, the damage to the party has already been done. Further damage might be preventable but I fear 2016 is going to be a blood bath for Rs in the Maine Legislature. People want to neuter LePage and the best way to do that is to ensure that Dems have a strong majority. Dems are loving all of this and I can't blame them.
