Maine is a liberal state like all of the Northeast is. It sucks, but I was born here. At least I don't live where I grew up - WOW talk about liberal! A hell hole! Google Rumford, Maine and see what comes up. What a hell hole!
I'm living in Lyman now and we are a conservative town. Lyman is too cool.
And picture yourself living on the Left Coast. You'd be a minority there, too. I've enjoyed vacations there but I don't want to live in such a liberal atmosphere. It would drive me nuts.
