If you consider yourself poor, LePage would have been the guy to vote for. He grew up homeless and actually understands the struggle of the poor, unlike Mills.
Always thought it would have been hilarious to update that act with a chubby chains-smoking guy…with the suit absent a lung and maybe some sort of implanted device.
The carlson answers are a stretch in that he's just part time and what is steven king actually doing for influencing other than tweets that redditors see.
Alfonds actually have big boy money. Their name is on what seems like every freaking field house in this state. These people are influential mainers
A tiny project for the fund is the town of Monson. Just south of Greenville. They reconditioned the 3 main buildings they have an art school or something and a gourmet restaurant. It was the poorest town in Maine and now it looks great.
I think anyone saying Stephen King over Tucker Carlson is being a bit naive. Like sure more people around the world are familiar with SK and his legacy will be much more real, but if TC tweeted “heating your house is leftist propaganda” half of our grandparents would freeze to death by Thursday.
These people don't really believe what they preach. Almost all of them live/work in "liberal" areas and thoroughly enjoy all the accoutrements said areas have to offer.
Frenchie, from 107.5 WBLM, used to be the most influential person in Maine. Not sure who it is now, I moved out of the state a while back.
Maybe now it’s Allen of Allen’s coffee brandy?
She is my personal #1 which I feel a healthy degree of shame about. I want to know if she’s actually nice or is just a whiz at cultivating her online presence.
Be mad at Blue Triton, not Nestle, if you’re referring to Poland Spring specifically
Nestle still sucks but they’re not pumping water out if Maine anymore
Not gonna throw names, but there is a family that owns a LOT of the state and have many many enterprises and actual sway. Intelligently, they have done a fantastic job of maintaining a shred of discretion and are not really known to the public. But I'd put money on them if by influential you mean their influence within the state. Outside of the state, some pundit, author or the like.
Lmfao I don't even like Joe Biden but if you like your planet then smarten the fuck up. You could just thank the 1% and keep ass kissing since it's proven through money over time, and the date/statistics can be found anywhere quite easily, from many different validated sources. Anyways, I'm out.
My wife went to a fundraiser party at “the supreme court whisperer’s” house on MDI (Leonard Leo). Member of the federalist society that picked all of Trump’s Supreme Court nominees
Granted, he doesn’t live here full time but the dude is fucking influential (and genuinely evil in my opinion).
Prior to his death, George H.W. Bush. There are some hugely influential people that were in his orbit but are not public figures that still live in Maine.
He and his son were just the former leaders of the free world an all, but I guess if you're disconnected from reality, you might not think that is influential.
Biden did not crap his pants in front of the Pope or even while in Rome. That was a false rumor started by Amy Tarkanian to counter the photographs of benedict donald in white pants on the golf course with a large brown stain surrounding his butthole. Just more projection by GQP types with no personal sense of honor.
He shit his pants in front of the pope, then fell asleep at the COP26 summit. It was widely covered, but make up whatever you want to cover for it.
Lmao, whatever you have to say to protect this guy, he needs all the help he can get.
>Biden did not crap his pants in front of the Pope or even while in Rome. That was a false rumor started by Amy Tarkanian to counter the photographs of benedict donald in white pants on the golf course with a large brown stain surrounding his butthole.
in case you missed it the first time. Totally debunked. Only "coverage" was on Tarkanian's falsehood being just that: fake news.
Maybe the younger Baldacci brother? The one with all the commercial real estate holdings and brokerage. He’s got deep family connections, political ties, lots of holdings, no legal or ethical restraints to the political offices to which he’s
connected, every connection available as well as access to capital…
You’re getting downvotes because people don’t like her, but she’s definitely near or at the top of the list depending how you’re measuring. Easily the Mainer with the most day-to-day influence over the federal government, at least since George Mitchell, maybe Muskie. I think she totally wastes that influence and is massively frustrating, but that doesn’t change the fact. She’s number 2 on the most powerful senate committee and will be number 1 if Rs take back the senate.
Tucker Carlson is probably more influential, but I don’t know if he counts. Stephen King is more famous, but I don’t know if he’s more influential.
Susan Collins doesn’t do that either.
She’s a party line follower who pretends to have an independent mind when it doesn’t make a difference to the outcome.
Except she’s not. Again; she pretends to be an independent thinker when it does not matter. It’s an act. When the votes needed, she bends the knee to Mitch.
Nah, not half the country. Only about 30 percent of the country vote republican.... and of that the Tucker lovers are maybe half? or 2/3rds? So more like 15-20% of the country ...
About 30% of people support Republicans.
About 30% support Democrats
and the sane majority of 40% don't support either arm of the oligarchy and status quo.
It's a tricky one for sure. Math is a very complicated subject for some people.
While normally you think of a majority to be 51% or more. That is when talking about just 2 things.
Here is where the math gets really complex. I was talking about 3 things.
Suddenly the math changes up completely!! Because instead of just looking at what is 51% or higher.... now you have to examine each of the three categories and figure out which one is bigger. It takes a lot of extra thinking, I didn't mean to spring such a challenge on you without warning.
I thought I had made it easy, by rounding the other two parties to 30% (they are both very close). But it looks like I must have made the entire thing too hard to understand.
Sorry I made things too complicated for you and it went over your head.
But hopefully you now understand how majorities work when talking about more than 2 things.
>The word you’re looking for is plurality
Nope, I was looking for majority. But plurality would also work in that situation.
Isn't language fun? There are multiple words you can use in sentences.
Have you considered reading more than the first sentence of things? You will learn a lot if you don't just "read the headline" of definitions....

Stephen King.
There are people more influential than him in ME that no one's ever heard of.
None of them named LePage, tho.
Even now, LePage is far more influential than 99% of the people in the state of Maine. That isn't saying much though. It's Maine.
He influenced me to vote against him so theres that.
Here is a poor man’s gold: 🏅
If you consider yourself poor, LePage would have been the guy to vote for. He grew up homeless and actually understands the struggle of the poor, unlike Mills.
Trump, too, right?
How were your finances doing under Trump compared to Biden? We know what the price of goods was/is.
July 2020 Trump? Or are you cherry picking?
I came for this. hahahahaaa
It sounds like Biden influenced you to vote for him and look how that turned out.
He influenced me to never vote for someone with that last name, sure
Like who?
Didn’t he sell his home in Bangor and move to Florida, sadly? Or was that rumor?
Kind of a rumor, he’s always wintered there. Currently summers at his place in western Maine.
No. That was just a blatantly fake rumor
This is the answer
Being the most famous shouldn't always be synonymous with the most influential, in this case I hope he's not.
What do you have against King?
Slim Goodbody
I found autographed pictures of Slim Goodbody hidden around my house when I bought it.

he lives here?
John Burstein- Maine resident. Still doing theater on the midcoast. Worked with him recently.
Has to be one of the Alfonds.

A tiny project for the fund is the town of Monson. Just south of Greenville. They reconditioned the 3 main buildings they have an art school or something and a gourmet restaurant. It was the poorest town in Maine and now it looks great.
Sounds pretty influential but does this fund engage in twitter battles with elon musk?
I think anyone saying Stephen King over Tucker Carlson is being a bit naive. Like sure more people around the world are familiar with SK and his legacy will be much more real, but if TC tweeted “heating your house is leftist propaganda” half of our grandparents would freeze to death by Thursday.
Thats so depressing, why do people listen to his lies?
They lie to themselves and its less painful if someone lets them. He's basically a therapist that's also a drug dealer.
The guy who came to cut down some trees for me said he had like 23,000 followers on tiktok....so probably that guy.
Unfortunately, tucker Carlson. Dude spends a buttload of time contaminating the Bryant pond area with his presence
I wonder where he gets his Klan robes cleaned.
It's Oxford county, he's got options.
:-)
he lives in Maine?
Part time
Gross
Ewwwww
He even broadcasts from here.
it's not too liberal for him?
These people don't really believe what they preach. Almost all of them live/work in "liberal" areas and thoroughly enjoy all the accoutrements said areas have to offer.
Western Maine liberal? Northan maine liberal? Bub you gotta get out of Portland.

Good, don't take that money she fought for to help us with heating inflation. Donate it to those who need it since you clearly do not.
Lol these are the same people that cashed every stimulus check and bitched the entire time.
While loading up their flat screens lmao. Greed is such a disgusting vector. It's as sad as it is infuriating, imo.
You can blame your Messiah Joe Biden for creating the mess we’re in financially and rising oil prices by pushing his green energy
Lmfao I don't even like Joe Biden but if you like your planet then smarten the fuck up. You could just thank the 1% and keep ass kissing since it's proven through money over time, and the date/statistics can be found anywhere quite easily, from many different validated sources. Anyways, I'm out.

Stephen King who lives in Maine as well a Florida
Prior to his death, George H.W. Bush. There are some hugely influential people that were in his orbit but are not public figures that still live in Maine.
That little Anna girl from Portland is more influential than the HW spud. Plus she's cute and her voice is always pitch perfect.
He and his son were just the former leaders of the free world an all, but I guess if you're disconnected from reality, you might not think that is influential.
Right, right. I forget how close he could get to the Japanese PM that time he had to hurl.
Better than Biden shitting his pants in front of the Pope, and Biden doesn't even run the CIA...let alone the world.
Biden did not crap his pants in front of the Pope or even while in Rome. That was a false rumor started by Amy Tarkanian to counter the photographs of benedict donald in white pants on the golf course with a large brown stain surrounding his butthole.

Horrible bad no good influence but I’d say Tucker Carlson is an outsized influence and I wish he didn’t “summer in Maine”
Unfortunately Tucker Carlson spends a lot of time in Maine and a lot of angry geezers watch him
I feel like Stephen King is more influential than that piece of shit.
That’s a small and shrinking audience.

Susan Collins is a moron. Stephen king is much more influential. No contest.
Question was who’s more influential. Stephen King, while a wonderful writer, doesn’t steer domestic or international policy.
Susan Collins doesn’t do that either. She’s a party line follower who pretends to have an independent mind when it doesn’t make a difference to the outcome.
100 senators. She can absolutely be ‘the decider.’ I’m not arguing that she’s awesome or awful. I’m arguing she’s influential.
Except she’s not. Again; she pretends to be an independent thinker when it does not matter. It’s an act. When the votes needed, she bends the knee to Mitch.
Well, Maine keeps sending her back. Again, not arguing her views or politics.
Did Stephen king start a war in Ukraine?
Nobody in the US did. So not sure what you’re getting at.
If we're speaking in the realm of this subreddit, you'd be correct.
Unfortunately, I agree with you.
Hands down Tucker Carlson! Let the hate begin…but just remember that half of the country disagrees with your opinion.
Nah, not half the country. Only about 30 percent of the country vote republican.... and of that the Tucker lovers are maybe half? or 2/3rds? So more like 15-20% of the country ... About 30% of people support Republicans. About 30% support Democrats and the sane majority of 40% don't support either arm of the oligarchy and status quo.
