WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is heading to Maine to rally votes for the Democratic candidate for governor, the latest in a burst of campaign appearances Obama is making before next week's midterm elections after months of sitting on the sidelines because of his low approval ratings and unpopularity in some states.

Obama is headlining a rally Thursday in Portland for Mike Michaud, a six-term congressman who hopes to unseat Republican Gov. Paul LePage in a neck-and-neck race. Independent candidate Eliot Cutler is running a distant third.

Democrats hope a visit by Obama so close to Tuesday's election will encourage Democrats to vote and put Michaud over the top.

Michaud picked up a pre-Obama boost Wednesday by earning the endorsement of Angus King, Maine's independent U.S. senator.

2. Good for the President, go Mike Michaud fighter for Maine veterans and NOT a T'Billy, like LiarPage.

3. Strange how the voice of the twice elected President is being muted by the M$M, even as a hero

nurse is, again, threatened with imprisonment by another tea bag Governor.

Seems to me that the M$M ignores the messages of the twice elected national leader in favor of the crazy anti-science crowd infected with fear....but now they are running scared my friends, the whole world can see how they sided with the pitchfork and witchcraft crowd over science. Science does not tolerate folls well, and it does not care what you believe, facts are facts, experts are experts, science instantly debunks all foolishness.

Make them all pay.

VOTE.

4. Because Journalism is dead.
