Gov. LePage's actions spur call to boycott Maine
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Protectors of Maine's image as Vacationland — an identity so dear that it's on the state's license plates — want to make sure their outspoken governor doesn't turn off tourists.
The concern over Republican Gov. Paul LePage has cropped up among people who make their living persuading people to come to Maine — either to work or to play — since he made racially charged remarks and left an obscene, threatening voicemail last week for a Democratic lawmaker.
David Weeda, owner of the Williams Pond Lodge bed and breakfast in Bucksport, said LePage's behavior frequently comes up for discussion among his guests. He just hopes it doesn't start keeping them away.
"If anybody thinks the world does not watch these sort of antics when they play out on the national stage, let me assure people that the world is watching," he said.

Paul LePage does NOT represent who WE are. In his 2 qelqections he averaged 43%.1.. 
.hardly a mandate.
THANKS Eliot Cutler! :spank
PEACE! 
does not represent all of the populace in a given state. That's why many Texans get upset with the people on DU that rail against us; however, we take the blunt of these misguided and uninformed people here. I'm not that well-traveled, but what I've found is that no state or country has a monopoly on good people or asses either.
I'll probably get alerted for making that statement though since there are a few people that concentrate on being petty and vindictive, while the overwhelming number of members here are pleasant and can show respect for others even when they disagree.
Peace and good luck with your governor--at least you seem to have a better chance of electing a Democratic governor in the mid-terms. 
If you're alerted it WON'T be by me. I agree with everything you said! 
PEACE.
