The Portland-based public opinion research firm conducted live telephone interviews of 613 randomly selected likely voters statewide Oct. 30 and 31. Voters were contacted both on land lines and cellphones,

Let’s see - D+ oversampled right? Its an old story - even in Maine.

I've always been curious why Maine is not a solid Republican state. The people up there seem to be of a hardy sort, self-reliant, tough, and they never bitch and complain about the constant snowstorms in winter and the mosquitoes/black flies in summer (all six weeks of it).

Ditto for Vermont. I don't get it.

awesome!! FUBO!!!

[Paladin2]

I’ll take 1 EV from Maine, Alex.

[Arthurio]

Maine would be a solid Republican state but for the social issues. One of two states that never voted for FDR.

[Reily]

As I understand it, it’s due to
“Invasion of the Mass RAT’ers”!

If it were not for Massholes having vacations homes in Maine, it would be a Red state.

[grimalkin]

No idea. My Dad was from Van Buren in Aristook County. He grew up in a large family of self reliant people and never voted for a dem his entire life. If he were alive today, he would be disgusted at this parasite in the oval office.

[Senator Goldwater]

Come on Chowda-heads.

This is your last chance to turn Obamacare into a 2700 page bonfire.

[Jet Jaguar]

Poll ping.

Real Mainers wear Carhartt.
When you see some joker in a cable knit sweater with J Crew Shorts on, that’s a Masshole.

[Paladin2]

I don't know what's up with Maine.

Massholes moving in over the years?

Farmers wanting gov't handouts?

Small industrial/logging towns with heavy Union participation?

Their vacation homes eventually become primary residences.

A Texas Rancher and a Maine tater farmer meet:

The Texan s Brags that “Mah Ranch is so big, I can git in my truck at sun up and drive, and not reach the other side of the ranch by sundown”

The Maineah says: “Heyup, I had a truck like that once”

[Factfinder]

And again the big story here too is that ZerO is under 50%. Do I detect a pattern?

[carlo3b]

Maine is nearly Lilly White, and wholesome.. If they had to tolerate the riffraff, the permanent taker class can inflict on the population, they would be an ice cold Mississippi..

I know what this sounds like.. Whatever!.. I report you decide.. LOL

[TMA62]

This, along with close races in NH, MN and OR is pointing to one conclusion.

"Ditto for Vermont. I don't get it."

I thought that VT got overrun by NYC folks starting in the 60's.
