It's Now A Two-Way Race: Baldacci v. LaMarche


Portland, Maine - With only a week left in the
race, Maine's newspapers have split in their
endorsements for the candidate who should be
Maine's next governor. Gov. Baldacci, as
expected, received endorsements from the Bangor
Daily News and the Portland Press Herald. Today,
however, in what can only be described as a major
shift in direction for the campaign, Green
Independent candidate Pat LaMarche picked up the
endorsements of four newspapers: the Bar Harbor
Times, Camden Herald, Courier Gazette, and
Republican Journal.

With only the televised Maine Public Broadcasting
debate scheduled for Wednesday night, and a
gubernatorial debate scheduled for Colby College
on Thursday night, the gubernatorial campaign
season is drawing to a close with two strong
contenders left standing: Baldacci and LaMarche.
 
LaMarche has embarked on a final week campaign
schedule that includes both offline and online
outreach. A marathon of campaign events around
the state is being supplemented with email
outreach and a text messaging campaign that is
being heralded by experts and participants alike
for its cutting edge tactics. 

Pat's website, already being archived for its
"historic" value by the Library of Congress, is
receiving an unprecedented response from the
people of Maine. The average visitor stays 12
minutes and reads ten pages on
, while the industry
standard is one page and under one minute. The
most accessed pages are Pat's biography page and
the comparison page, showing that visitors want
to know who she is and what sets her apart from
the other contenders.
