In response to Jim Fossel’s Aug. 3 column, “Like the Red Sox, Maine Republicans seem content to coast,” I think Mr. Fossel owes the Red Sox an apology. The Sox are 7-3 over their last 10 (as of Aug. 3) and have built a strong roster of young talent that’s winning and will carry them into the future.
The Maine GOP hasn’t won with a majority in ages. It has a representative shaming trans children and a gubernatorial candidate using racist tropes. No strong leaders, no statewide household names, no pertinent policy to move Maine into the future.
If the Maine GOP is content to coast, it will only be further downhill.
