Al Diamon on the confluence of Maine's political parties, TABOR and tax reform:

For some reason, spending limits and tax reform mix like Diet Coke and Mentos, like Kevin Youkilis and Manny Ramirez, like Catholic bishops and same-sex marriage. Republicans hate tax reform because it doesn’t reduce taxes. Democrats hate spending limits because they reduce spending. Green Independents hate both of them because, well, they’re Greens, so they don’t need reasons.
