John McCain has pulled within four points of Barack Obama in Maine. That’s the closest he has been in any of the six monthly polls Rasmussen Reports has conducted in the state since April.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Maine voters finds Obama with 50% of the vote and McCain with 46%

I’ve said it before, but I mean it now more than ever;

I always thought it was odd that McCain would have “no chance” in a state with two republican senators. After all, McCain isn’t seen as some die-hard conservative right-winger, he should be liked by the people who vote for Snowe and whats-her-face, even if in fact he’s more conservative than they are.

Oddly, now that Colorado is purple, if they had split their EV, it would make them meaningless, because it would be likely to split 5-4 or 4-5, maybe 6-3. Not enough delegates to be worth the effort.

But with all 9 going to the winner, they will get a LOT of attention.

I’d love it if every democratic state would switch to split votes. It would really help us win elections.

Keep this in mind Maine voted for Kerry 54/45 in 2004. Now close your eyes and say, “Even if a deep blue state that voted Kerry 54/45, a White man with none of the baggage of Obama is now just + 4 for Obama I believe the national polls that say Obama is up by 5 points.” Repeat this until you believe it.
