Maine's interesting with presidential races.
It was 4.6 points more liberal than the rest of the nation in 2000.
It was 11.4 points more liberal in 2004. It was a state where Kerry outperformed Gore.
It was 10.2 points more liberal than the rest of the country in 2008.
It was 11.4 points more liberal in 2012, although Obama's margin was lower than the previous cycle.
This is a small sample set.
It's possible Maine voters are more elastic, or that the numbers are somehow skewed (perhaps there's more support for the military which helped Kerry and McCain a bit.)
