1. I Like "timberdoodle",...

...but I usually call him "lumberdick".

Essentially, they're both the same insult.

BTW, I think that that's about the right margin, but I think that Baldacci's & lumberdick's % is a little low, LaMarche's & NaPier"s a little high and merrill's about right (how's that for a prediction?). I think that thr rethuglicans thought that merrill would be a bit more effective as a shill.

PEACE!

2. I like woodchuck :)

But either of the other two choices works fine :)

I predict Baldacci 43%, Woodchuck 36%, Merrill 13%, LaMarche 7% and the guy in the overalls 1%
