The polls be damned, Republican Bobby Charles has decided who’s going to be the Democrat gubernatorial nominee in Maine.
Charles, clearly leading the GOP field in recent polling, has fired off a challenge – not to Shenna, not to Hannah, not to Angus.
But to Nirav Shah.
Let the general-election race begin.
Now, says Bobby Charles, who besides picking the Democrat winner has also selected himself as the GOP primary victor.
“REPUBLICAN FRONTRUNNER BOBBY CHARLES CALLS ON NIRAV SHAH TO REJECT TIM WALZ, DEMAND MAINE DEMOCRATS CANCEL MAY 1 APPEARANCE”
That’s Bobby’s chosen headline and typeface for a letter he’s shot off to Nirav, calling on him to cancel the Minnesota governor’s planned May 1 Democrat banquet speech.
Charles, of course, doesn’t expect the Shah of Maine to do any such thing.
Nor does Charles give a rat’s ass who the Democrats bring in as their speaker du jour.
No, this is about the guy far in the lead of his party’s gubernatorial primary race deciding that Shah has won the Democrat primary.
As Charles said in the recent GOP debate in Bangor, he – Charles – is the guy getting attacked by one of his own opponents for a single reason: he’s ahead by double digits.
Now he’s turning that logic to his own advantage by deciding the general-election campaign has now begun.
The primary is over in both parties, according to Bobby Charles.
It’s now Bobby The Moustache v. The Shah of Maine.
Let’s get ready to rumble!
Bobby seems to be counting his chickens before they hatch. Just another public servant who thinks he is the answer.
Forget ho more kings… we want no more shahs!
