	Maine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The capital of Maine is Augusta and its governor is John Baldacci (Democrat).
		Maine is both the largest and the northernmost state in the New England region, bordered on the west by New Hampshire.
		Maine is the most sparsely populated state east of the Mississippi River, owing in part to its huge relative size—its land mass exceeds that of all other New England states combined.

	As Maine goes, so goes the country - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The origin of this phrase lays in the political science theory that Maine was a bellweather state for presidential elections.
		Maine held its presidential election in September, not November as did the other states, on the premise that inclement weather endemic in much of Maine by November made voting at that time of year impractical.
		However, in November, only Vermont joined Maine, giving Landon only eight electoral votes (the three from Vermont and the five from Maine), equalling the smallest total ever (as of 2004) won by a major-party nominee since the beginning of the current U.S. two-party system in the 1850s, and destroying the credibility of the phrase permanently.

	TAP: Vol 9, Iss. 38. Reform Beyond the Beltway. Robert Dreyfuss. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		When voters in Maine approved the Clean Election Act by a margin of 56 to 44 on November 5, 1996, they endorsed a system of full, voluntary public financing for elections for governor and the state legislature, scheduled to take effect in 2000 for legislative candidates and in 2002 for gubernatorial candidates.
		If Maine and Vermont were the Lexington and Concord of public financing, then Michigan may be its Yorktown—or, to mix martial metaphors, its Waterloo.
		Reformers expect that the Maine and Vermont systems will add momentum by showing that public financing works, but the Maine system, presuming it survives court challenges, does not even come on line until 2000, meaning that it will not be until 2002 or later that its effects—benevolent or ill—can have an impact on future referenda.

		When Maine became a state in 1820, it was one of several states that chose to hold their state elections in September or October.
		With poor roads and a far-flung population, Maine, Vermont and the frontier states of Ohio and Indiana held their polls in the early fall, for fear the chill of winter would depress turnout.
		By 1880, the Mainers' influence was so great that their decision to turn out a corrupt Republican governor in favor of a Democrat was greeted with hysterics from New York editorialists, who saw the decision as a treasonous endorsement of the old Confederacy, then the Democratic stronghold.

	<i>Vermont State Government Since 1965</i> Book Review <i>The Public Historian</i> 22
		The genesis of Vermont State Government Since 1965 lies with Andrew E. Nuquist, a native Nebraskan who arrived at the University of Vermont (UVM) in 1938 to start teaching political science while finishing his dissertation on "Chinese Legal Codes as Causation and Effect in Chinese Legal Thought" for his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin.
		Despite his scholarly interest in Sinology, he was soon enticed by the executive director of the Vermont Chamber of Commerce to assist Vermont communities in composing town reports and teaching workshops for town officers.
		Vermont State Government Since 1965 cannot be faulted for not scrutinizing this amazing transition from rock-ribbed Republican allegiance because it prudently centers on the dynamics of ts subject, aptly stated by its title.

	As Maine goes, so goes Vermont - Definition, explanation
		Prior to the 1936 Presidential election, Maine was considered a bellwether state by political analysts.
		Until 1960, Maine held its general election in September, rather than in November, and in Presidential years this included the presidential election.
		The presidential results in Maine generally were a good predictor of the national results; candidates even worked hard to win Maine for this reason, despite its low population, and hence low electoral vote count and somewhat remote location.

		For years, "As Maine goes, so goes the nation" had been a political aphorism, but after the election of 1936, the joke became "As Maine goes, so goes Vermont".
		Again they failed, and so despite their efforts, millions of middle class Americans saw their economic security solidified, and the ever-increasing promise of America made real.

		So it's a reasonable deduction to say that I'm in the early stages of my professional and personal life, and further to say that I have plenty of time before I begin truly considering things like marriage, having my own family, and such.
