Maine could also be a surprise. Republicans have been gaining some ground (very slowly), and Maine is one of two states that can split the electoral vote. The democratic governor is not well liked and the democratric legislature can only raise taxes. Just a hunch!

I could see Maine's 2nd district (and its 1 electoral vote) going to Bush. Bush only lost this district by 1.8 percentage points in 2000, though Nader did draw 5.6% there. District 2 will be much tougher. Gore/Nader outpolled Bush by 13.7 percentage points there.

Maine could be a surprise, but for now, I'm keeping it in the Kerry column. Baldacci's win in 2002 was not the coronation he hoped for and the legislature is filled with uber-leftists. Bush only lost by a few points and a small swing could give him the state. COULD give him the state.

If he picks up his vote in York & Cumberland a few points, he's got it.
