My Take
Whatever one thinks of his politics, what I find revealing about Paul LePage is the math behind his rise. From a hard Lewiston upbringing he built a business career, served as mayor of Waterville, then won the Maine governorship in 2010 with just 37% of the vote in a four-way race. Holding that office from 2011 to 2019, he was a combative, polarizing Republican. My interest lies in the mechanics of winning with a plurality and the sheer scrappiness of climbing from the bottom. He embodies the unglamorous, hard-edged reality of electoral politics, and I observe him with cool curiosity rather than applause.
