A Wicked Bogus Job in Maine
This went by on Courtney Sieloff's "jobsthatareleft" mailing list today. Courtney takes job postings for good jobs, and for bad jobs. This is one of the latter. To hold it, you'll need to hold your nose and ignore the possibility that the candidate is ... well ... a better Republican (lower taxes for owners) than he is a Democrat, and a midget in Maine's ranks of public servants, coming in below the knees of Chellie Pingree and Mike Brennan, both of whom are running -- as Democrats -- for Maine's 1st Congressional District, and will both be around when the polls open next June.

On the up-side, every upper-income bracket card in the rolodexes will thrill to Ethan's hokey lower-taxes-makes-jobs Demowoblican message. The down-side is that many Portlanders, regardless of income bracket, will already have an idea if Ethan's "Fighting for Portland Strimling" accomplished anything in Augusta, but the money, if not the votes, are south of Portland.
It is a fair enough piece of work for FD's who don't mind having a scatterbrained lightweight to mind during call-time, but anyone who cares about their work in the only competitive Democratic primary in Maine in several cycles could find better work for Chellie or Mike.
N.B. I attended, as the CM with a candidate for one of Portland's seats in the Maine legislature, the Portland Press Herald's candidates interview, and watched with interest Ethan slide off the table towards the conservative position on taxation, leaving Mike Brennan, my candidate, and even the one little-r Republican behind as discredited socialists on his trip to uber-libratarian unfettered management. He also left the PPH's editorial board behind, but I don't think he noticed.
