Chris previously served as field coordinator and communications director for the 2006 Taxpayer Bill of Rights Campaign, communications director for the Maine Senate Republican Office, and state director of the 2007 No More Than 4 Campaign to oppose extending term limits for state legislators.

Why would you choose two republicans as new columnists?
Heh
Two new R candidates for governor, apparently.
Ahhh
Cote's a Democrat.
cote is only recently a dem,
cote is only recently a dem, to run for cd1
Objective?? by what standards
I wonder if Cinquemani is also still working for Maine Leads? (Leonardson's newest adventure, pushing the new TABOR and the health care referedums...) if so, this is hardly a non-partisan pick.
Non-partisan?
I don't see anywhere on the site that politicker brought these two guys on because they were non-partisan.
Adam Cote almost become the DEMOCRATIC nominee for Congress in the first district.
Chris Cinquemani was the communications director for the Senate REPUBLICAN Office.
