A voicemail message left by Paul LePage on the phone of a Beardsley supporter (via AMG, confirmed as authentic by Gerald at DirigoBlue):
Shouldn't a candidate for governor have people on staff who make their vaguely threatening phone calls for them?
This phone call is being
This phone call is being blown out of the water, it is no big deal. All Paul did was ask her to have a conversation with him. He even went so far as to give her his cell phone number. I mean come on people, are we to believe that LePage slit his own throat with the phone call? Look at the man's record, look at what he has done in both the business world and as mayor of Waterville. The choice is very clear. This phone call issue is stupid and is being blown way out of the water. I voted for Paul LePage and I have got 5 other people today to vote for him. He is the right choice for the GOP and the right choice for Maine.
The content of the phone call
The content of the phone call is weird and unprofessional, but it isn't so bad. The problem is that he's doing this when he should be working to win the election. He is once again showing his complete lack of understanding of statewide politics.
