Have you lost respect for Maine?

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

Seemed like a decent place. First LePage (twice!) and now giving Trump an EV.

[Antonio the Sixth]

giving Trump an EV.

I'll believe it when I see it.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

An Obama/Obama/Trump state is the definition of where I would want to live. Sadly, it won't be one.

[Santander]

It makes me respect Maine even more.

[SATW]

Yes, because of LePage and Angus King. Both are massive HPs, but Maine is still a solid FF state.

[Maxwell]

I don't really get the Angus King hate or people who hate him on equivalent with legitimate terrible person Paul LePage, but that's just me.

For the record, I think Maine's 2nd will go to Clinton by as much or slightly less than it has before. I don't think it will go for Trump.

[Figueira]

No, Maine is a wonderful state.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Any state that voted for Alf Landon will probably never lose my respect.

LePage is a well-documented nutcase. King's thirst for attention, on the other hand, is not as visible.

[Xing]

We'll see if Trump actually does well there. If Maine does swing heavily toward him, I'll definitely no longer see it as an FF state, though it's already sad that they elected LeP*** twice. Maybe they have a fetish for assholes without a single redeeming quality...

[bagelman]

I still have respect for Alaska, home of Sarah Palin, and they're probably voting for Trump.

[Vosem]

Alaska is still my absolute favorite state, regardless of Palin. I judge states mostly by weather/nature/environment/cityscapes, with politics playing a very small part, so Maine is still fantastic. For the record:

[RosettaStoned]

  Of course not. 

[100% pro-life no matter what]

What makes us so much better than our neighbors?

Great Smoky Mountains National Park. North Carolina would be green too, but the mountains are outweighed by all the tobacco farms.

[Horus]

I never really respected Maine, they elected Paul LePage twice.

But if it does go to Trump, it will have transformed from a gorgeous, naturally beautiful paradise full of White rural liberals to a rural wasteland full of hick trash in just four years in the minds of Atlas!!

[Clark Kent]

Any state that voted for Alf Landon will probably never lose my respect.

So just Maine, Vermont, and Kansas?

[OSR stands with Israel]

Any state that voted for Alf Landon will probably never lose my respect.

So just Maine, Vermont, and Kansas?

Kansas voted for fdr

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I meant for president, so just Maine and Vermont.  You could probably add Kansas too, although Landon lost there when he ran for president.

[Anna Komnene]

No, Mainers are awesome.  Judging a state based on its elections is silly.  Most people don't even vote.

[Jesus save us]

Of course. Its an overwhelmingly white state so we shouldnt be surprised.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Maine gave us Stephen King. I can forgive them almost everything.

[RINO Tom]

Of course. Its an overwhelmingly white state so we shouldnt be surprised.

Atlas is the only place you could imply there's something inherently wrong with all White people (besides White liberals, of course, who talk about themselves eerily like the planters did in the South) and not be called out for being a racist because of some book some nerd on here read about institutional racism.
