Maine is a toss-up. The independent candidates fucked over the Democrats for the past two elections

Cutler came in 2nd place in the 2010 ME Governors Race losing to LePage by a 1.7 percent margin. Michaud should have remained in the US House- he would have defeated Poliquin in ME-2.
Regarding in 2018- 2018 is more Democratic friendly than in 2010 and 2014. How much damage will Terry Hayes cause to Democrats? Could Terry Hayes benefit from Angus King's coattails?

Another State Democrats have a chance is TN- Karl Dean. Could Bredesen and Dean defeat Blackburn and Black?
