I heard a number of Conservative Mainers wanted to kick out the 3 or 4 counties surrounding Portland and rename it “North Massachusetts”?
LOL!
People in northern Maine have long referred to the southern most part of Maine as “North Massachusetts.” The problem is the fact that the southern-most part of Maine is within commuting distance to Boston.
Some of them re-locate here, and bring their lib voting patterns with them....just like when New Yorkers move to Florida, Angelinos move from L.A. to Arizona and Nevada, northeasterners who re-locate to North Carolina, etc.
