In a recent New York Times, Thomas Friedman wrote, "We have to rip open this two-party duopoly and have it challenged by a serious third party that will talk about education reform without worrying about offending the far left ... energy and climate reform without worrying about offending the far right ... "
In Maine, we already have this third party; his name is Eliot Cutler.
Beholden to neither political agendas nor powerful interests, Cutler, a true independent, is the only candidate qualified to lead Maine to prominence in an interdependent world.
He has the common sense, the broad experience and the toughness to make hard choices without fear or favor. The times demand no less.
John C. O'Brien, Waterford
