BREAKING! Republican Gov. Paul LePage, a tea party favorite, won a four-way race in 2010 with 38 percent of the vote. He’s a polarizing figure whom Mainers either love or (more often) hate. Still, independent candidate Eliot Cutler threatens to play the spoiler, as he did in 2010. A Portland Press Herald poll published Sunday showed Democratic Rep. Michael Michaud ahead by 2 percentage points over LePage, with Cutler trailing far behind at 12 percent. The state’s independent senator, Angus King, recently endorsed Cutler, but it’s not clear that generated any kind of bounce. If Cutler gets more than 20 percent, LePage can win.
