McCain to campaign with Maine GOP Governor candidate

[MaineDem]

AUGUSTA, Maine — Sen. John McCain will make a return visit to Maine to campaign for Republican candidates while Democrats drop lobsters into the pot as part of their annual fundraiser on Saturday, as political activity takes a midsummer tilt toward the fall elections.

McCain, who is seen as a leading contender for his party´s 2008 presidential nomination, will make his second visit to Maine in two months as he stumps with gubernatorial nominee Chandler Woodcock in Yarmouth.

The two have scheduled a news conference at the DeLorme center before they campaign in the southern Maine coastal town. GOP candidates for other Maine offices may join them, said Mike Dennehy, senior strategist for McCain´s political action committee Straight Talk America.

I wonder how this will go over with Maine GOP? Last month McCain was in the state campaigning for one of Woodcock's primary opponents. Plus, McCain is well-liked by the many Republicans, those who dislike Olympia Snowe for being too "moderate".
