Angus King
Wow - Angus King supported George W. Bush in both elections. Very interesting that he is supporting Obama this time - and good for John Shea, who has been a very hardworking, diligent exucutive councilor.
Angus King
Wow - Angus King is one of the biggest reasons I left Maine. It is no surprise he is supporting Obama but it is surprising he is viewed as someone who can help in NH. Hopefully they serve coffee at the Roosevelt dinner. You will need it if Angus is prepared to speak.
King was good!
I cannot see what the other former mainer has against Angus King. He was an excellent gov for Maine. So you left Maine because of Gov. King, somehow I just dont believe you.
John Shea is a joke
John Shea failed to show up for his own event with Angus King. This guy is an embarassment.
Meanwhile, Bob Bruce braved the crappy weather and campaigned with King at the Deerfield Fair.
But the Lynch drones still throw money and resources at Shea while screwing with Bruce behind the scenes.
