In the great state of Maine. The gentleman on the left is former Waterville mayor Paul
LePage. He a tea party favorite and looking like a easy winner has some interesting ideas and or beliefs. Part of the earth is only five thousand year old crowd he is pushing for off shore oil exploration on the Maine coast. (where he thinks oil came from in just five thousand years is beyond me.) Also a advocate of nuclear power plants he has nothing but contempt for the green movement denouncing them as impracticable. He also has a habit of sounding like a idiot when answering questions. So he refuses to meet or answer any questions before the election. Brilliant. This is a strategy that may of seemed impossible a few years ago but is something of a point of pride with the information suspicious, fact phobic followers of the new insurgency.
The young woman who just one Delaware's republican senate primary is a study in the soft lunacy that pervades the far right.O'Donnell has said plenty of wacky things in her variegated career. A former campaign manager, for example, claimed O'Donnell once told her that
Joe Biden had "tapped her phone line." On The Bill O'Reilly Show, O'Donnell said that "American scientific companies are cross-breeding humans and animals and coming up with
mice with fully functioning human brains." Plus, as O'Donnell is an
evangelical Christian, there have been the expected, unfortunate comments about
evolution,
homosexuality, etc.
The truly frightening part is she will probably win.
Easily
