Maine: John Frary

Wed, 12/10/2008 - 13:36

$100K in debt and absolutely worth it

By Jessica Alaimo, PolitickerME.com Reporter

John Frary (R-Farmington) ended his long-shot campaign for the 2nd Congressional District $100,000 in debt.

He calculates that he has to live on Social Security for 27 months to make up for it.

It was worth it, he said Wednesday.

Frary said that the sheer fact that an “obscure, small town selectman” could garner 33 percent of the vote against U.S. Rep. Mike Michaud (D-East Millinocket) proved the incumbent’s vulnerability.

“He’s a nice guy but not too bright,” Frary said.

Rothenberg: Little risk for Dems in House races

By Jessica Alaimo, PolitickerME.com Reporter

The Rothenberg Political Report left both of Maine’s House races off its September list of competitive House races this fall, meaning they see it as limited risk for the Democrats, who hold both seats.

In the 1st Congressional District, Chellie Pingree (D-North Haven) faces Charlie Summers (R-Scarborough). The seat is being vacated by Tom Allen (D-Portland) who is running for the Senate.
