The state government is almost equally divided between the two parties.
And the last time the Republican Presidential nominee got more that 44% of the vote there was 1988.
We have two GOP senators.
Who are both the darlings of the Hollywood left and the New York Times.
And we believe in fiscal responsibility and personal privacy.
And you have a Governor who proudly proclaims that he's a Communist.
(Just for the record,please understand that I'm not saying that *all* folks in Maine are filthy...just a clear majority)
I'm no defender of Baldacci (voted for Peter Chinchette lat election) but he's never declared himself a Communist.
Also, we have one of the largest percentage of independent voters in the nation. So vote total for Presidental Elections are not party-splits, but often result from narrowly-tailored electoral decisions. I know plenty of people who didn't vote for Bush in 2004 because of his profligate spending habits. That's hardly "filthy"
I just disagree with the use of the word.
