I currently live in a state where the Gov., a radical Tea party Republican, got into office with 38% of the vote.
The other two leading candidates, a progressive independent and an old school Dem took 55% of the votes combined.
So in a state that overwhelming voted AGAINST the radical GOP line of Lapage, we ended up with a Tea Bagger in office.
An attempt to create a recall process is already at hand, incidently.

LePage the winner, carrying 38.1% of the votes.[2] Cutler was in second place with 36.7% of the votes (less than 7,500 votes behind LePage), while Mitchell was a distant third with 19%.[2] Moody and Scott had 5% and 1%, respectively.[2] Two days after the election, with 99% of precincts reporting, LePage's lead over Cutler had widened to more than 10,000 votes.[3]
