I just dug this old thread up in the search results for one of the other stories told in the course of it, and figured I should note for those of you who are keeping score of home that this is exactly what happened. It was even the same yoyo declaring independent and making sure LePage got elected as it was in 2010. I hope Paulie sent Eliot Cutler a nice fruit basket. I know I'd like to send him one. One piece of fruit at a time, at a range of about 15 feet, after they've had a few weeks to get good and ripe.
