When you consider this was all about honoring a Christian minister [MLK jr.], but few can leave it at that.

I agree.

Turning a great man's message into a racist one is really bad.

But like I said, this is going to be fun. The wingnuts defending every silly thing he does and the left squealing about it. While normal Mainers just shrug their shoulders and hope the change is for the better.
WHEN YOU RUN THREE CANDIDATES CHANCES ARE NO ONE WILL GET A MAJORITY!!! A win is a win...just ask the JETS!

"We demand an apology"......sorry ranger

As for LePage, show me. That's all I ask. Show me progress in what Mainer's find important. If it's the crass way, so be it. But I would prefer to see some refinement in other stately matters. I can call Uncle Joe if I want crass. I will enjoy following his term contrasting Jerry Brown's new term. So much comic relief, so little time.

Ya, what's up with you guys on the left coast. I remember it was Governor Moon Unit that started your state heading into the crapper three decades ago.
