AUGUSTA, Maine— Republicans believed the Blaine House was theirs all along. GOP control of the Senate was a distinct possibility.
But taking the House, too?
That was a surprise.
“I think the stars were all aligned yesterday in Maine, for really the trifecta: the Republican governor, the Republican House, the Republican Senate,” said Rep. Robert Nutting, R-Oakland.
Wednesday morning, hundreds of enthusiastic Republicans packed into the State House’s Hall of Flags to celebrate that trifecta.
“We had a pretty good night,” said Rep. Josh Tardy, R-Newport, the outgoing House minority leader. “I’m proud to say Republicans have been ready for this for quite some time.”
According to unofficial results compiled by the Bangor Daily News, the party will now have 20 seats in the Senate, Democrats will have 14 and there is one unenrolled senator, with one recount under way. In the House, Republicans will hold 77 seats, and Democrats will hold 73. There is one unenrolled representative, and three recounts are under way.
The last time Republicans held the House, Senate and governor’s office was in 1964, according to state records.

Hopefully, Sue and Olympia are looking over their shoulder.
I guess this means homosexual marriage is dead as well, unless the courts intervene. Now, another question has to do with redisticting. Could northern Maine be given a more conservative district, when redistricting occurs?
