Terry's Elections Guide and Predictions: Maine

Governor (Democratic-held)
John Baldacci (D) 39 - Chandler Woodcock (R) 35 - Barbara Merrill (I) 16 - Pat LeMarche (G) 10
This is considered Republicans' best pickup opportunity for a governor's race at this point, though I suspect Baldacci is pulling away. By the way, Maine is not as Democratic as the rest of New England, and its electoral votes are apportioned by congressional district (there are two in the state; Nebraska does the same thing), so if a Republican presidential candidate ever carries a Maine congressional district, s/he'd pick up an electoral vote. Also, I was listening to John Linnell's "Maine" the other day, and I think it's the best track from his State Songs album. I have no idea about the dynamics of the race, and I only found out there were other candidates threatening double-digit support on Sunday. Finally, sorry about the name, Chandler Woodcock.
