Maine was never really in play for Romney. Obama won by 15 percentage points. Romney only carried one sparsely populated inland county (and that narrowly).

The House elections weren't close either. Maybe the concern was the Senate race, but liberal Independent candidate probably couldn't count on as much African-American support as Obama.

One Democrat did win a state house seat by four votes, though.

Agree with everything you said. Which is one of the reasons this claim makes no sense.
