    I’ve actually met him, heard him speak, seen how much he actually cares and is sick of the current system, the current weak Democratic party leadership. He wants change and since no one else seems to be doing anything about it, he’s running for senator. Probably the most down-to-Earth, honest and genuine candidate I’ve ever seen. He’s even refusing to play dirty politics with his campaign and it’s working. His competition here tried it and Mainers are just so sick of dirty political shit that it backfired.

    Sure he’s got a troubled past, but he’s got my vote here in Maine. I wish there were more politicians like him.

      But you’re forgetting that MLs will viciously attack anyone doing anything about any of the problems they like to bring up, because they would prefer if everyone stayed at home and was a keyboard warrior instead. Because only true believers do nothing while fantasizing about some grand plan that will never happen.

      On second thought, I don’t care what MLs think. This guy checks out.
