I may have spoken in haste - please accept my apology
You just described Portland and most of Cumberland County. There are "two Maines".
No, that is not the other Maine, that is the Dumbass French Canadians living south of the Border - Something like the Mexicans here in Texas :)
WRONG!
I think I know a thing or two about the demographics up here. Half the population lives within 50 miles of Portland, full of Massholes and other big city refugees, which is RAT to the bone. CD2 is the Second Maine.
The RAT CD1 controls the state, dominates the State House and essentially all of the executive branch bureaucRATs, lifers...janitors etc. It's been that way for over 50 years.

ALRIGHT! Now you've done it. You've just insulted my wife, our governor, and most of my friends and the people I know, and who are mostly descendants of these horrible hard-working and conservative "Dumbass French Canadians".
(who incidentally settled Maine in the first place)

Time to run that one a second time!!
