Dear Editor:

Let's not repeat the last gubernatorial election where the Paul LePage opposition vote was split between Cutler and Mitchell, allowing LePage to become governor. With it highly unlikely that Cutler could get the votes to win, he could draw enough votes to result in another LePage victory.

I implore would-be Cutler voters to consider the likely scenario that their vote for Eliot Cutler could result in another term for LePage. I believe that either Mike Michaud or Eliot Cutler would be a far better choice for Maine governor.

If polling results suggest that Cutler could not win I ask that Cutler supporters consider switching their support to Michaud to avoid another LePage win. Do we really want to hand LePage yet another victory?
