came from this guy. maine's paul lepage who politico dubbed the craziest governor. like christie, he is one of the most unpopular governors in the country. he is now facing possible impeachment proceedings for allegedly withholding state funds from a school for at risk children unless it withdrew a job offer to a political foe. the endorsement came at becky's diner in portland where he described christie who campaigned hard as a blunt straight talker. >> for me in the first full day of my presidential campaign, to be able to come up here and receive an endorsement from somebody who knows what it is like to run a blue state. knows what it is like to make tough decisions, knows what it is like to engage in hand to hand combat to get thing done for the people that elect you. to get an endorsement from paul le page today is an incredible honor today. >> joining me now, john, i have to say from a branding
