Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be in Maine on Friday afternoon to campaign for Mike Michaud.

The Democratic Congressman is fighting to take the Blaine House away from Republican Gov. Paul Lepage.

Michaud has received support from Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama.

President Barack Obama is coming to Maine on Thursday to stump for Michaud.

Critics of the Democratic congressman said he needs these big political names to prop him up because he is a weak candidate with a thin record.

"With just 11 days until the election, Democrats are still desperately trying to consolidate liberal support for Congressman Michaud after a disastrous series of debate performances made clear that he is unable to articulate policy positions or even answer the most basic questions about his vision for Maine," Maine Republican Party chairman Rick Bennett said in a statement.

"Mrs. Clinton is on a campaign tour, stumping for any Democrat with a pulse in an attempt to shore up her own presidential aspirations, Bennett said.

Independent Eliot Cutler, who has been polling a distant third in the governor's race, said Friday that Michaud needs to consider stepping aside.

In a Friday morning press release, Cutler is quoted as saying, Maine voters have increasingly come to realize that Mike Michaud cant close the deal with voters -- he cant win, whether Im in the race or not.

Cutlers campaign said Michaud will lose in a head-to-head match-up with LePage even though several major independent polls show the congressman winning in such a scenario.
