Talk:As Maine goes, so goes the country

Was it really a bellweather state?
Looking at the maps of Presidential elections since 1860, the impression I get is that Maine was a normally reliable Republican state, only going Democrat on rare occasions in unusual circumstances (e.g. 1912) and being one of the few to stay Republican in 1932. Was it really a bellweather state or was it the frequent Republican victories over seventy years that gave an artificial impression? Timrollpickering 19:55, 16 October 2005 (UTC)


 * It's really irrelevant whether, scientifically, it was a bellwether state, merely that it was at one time considered to be a bellwether state. --Xinoph 03:16, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Needs sources
I just added the verify tag to this article, as it has no sources at all right now. | Klaw ¡digame! 22:23, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
