I believe it was on Fox last week during a discussion of how these two faux-Republicans could be repeatedly re-elected, I heard the figure thrown out that 80% of Maine's population receives some sort of gov't assistance. IF that is true, you're correct. They should become even more popular with their support of the "Porkulus" Bill and be able to add even more dependents to the rolls.

Not true...not even close to true. Likely what you heard was some talking head exploding. There’s a lot of that going on these days. You know, it occurs to me that if those folks had anything at all constructive to say, they wouldn’t need to try (and fail)to keep their base in line with comments that don’t pass the milk through the nose test.
