About the Blog


Hi, I'm Mike Tipping and I write the blog.

I started Maine Politics in January, 2005 and wrote regularly for about a year before my job got in the way (you can read the old archives at mainepolitics.blogspot.com).

I restarted the blog at its present location in July of 2008. I also recently began writing a weekly online column for Down East Magazine.

You can read a profile of MP by political columnist Al Diamon here.

The website runs on Drupal 6 and a custom theme.

Feel free to drop me a line.
