Governor LePetomaine strikes again, misses! He's like an evil village idiot. But how did this guy get elected in a state so close to Canada and sanity, anyway?

It was a three-way race the first time, the other two candidates split enough votes that LePutrescence won. The next election, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. Apparently Mainers have a steep learning curve.

Kind of like the Wisconsin side show featuring featuring Scotty Walker.

Stephen King sounds like a good guy.

Actually, he was initially elected with 38% of the vote, because the Democrat wouldn't get out of the way of the Indy (who got 36%). But he was RE-elected with 48% of the vote, which I find slightly depressing.

That's good to know. I have used GIMP for years and I still find the interface to be pretty opaque. I have no friggin' idea what half of the tools do. Still, I have no plans to switch to anything else.

The second time he would have won with or without the third candidate, actually. You can look at the vote split on Wikipedia pretty easily.

Unfortunately, the second time, all the ammosexuals who bait bears with donuts crawled out of the woodwork to protect their right to torture bears and hounds and put him over the edge.

Not the third party candidate.

So the second time, he was elected by the majority of citizens who cared enough to vote. I think that is how the democratic process (voting) works. It does not make me think any more highly of voters in Maine, however.

Has America learned these clowns cannot govern? They can't even rule decently.
