1. Did Dean campaign in Maine?

From what I've seen he pretty much skipped the state to focus on Wisconsin. That's a pretty strong showing for not giving it alot of attention.

2. He was here on Sunday

And made at lerast one previous trip.

11. What about commercials and ads?

How would you rate those in terms of effectiveness, professional look, etc.

I guess my point is, it's a really good showing. Much better than the media would have us to believe. I keep seeing Kerry, Edwards, Clark, in that order as the only ones who get the press. Kucinich is rarely, if ever, included and Sharpton is only talked about in terms of a quick sound byte jab.

Dean's always an afterthought with an "isn't it too bad/sad" tone. A "he's over and done" push, if you will. Yet, he's #2 in delegates. :shrug:

3. Go Dennis! BTW, Why does Maine take so long? Are they just barbarians?

How long does it take to count and collate the data on a bunch of caucuses? I mean dang, they're just taking for freakin' ever. What deranged band of knuckle dragging savages must live up in the Woodhead State that they have to spend all night long and into the next day just to count the ballots? Hey, you maple-sucking morans! Get a calculator!

Jeeze.

10. Ayah - Native Knuckledragger here

Maine has a long tradition of old-school-town-meeting REAL democracy.

and sometimes it ain't as slick as some Flatlanders would like it.

and I hope it never changes.

7. Are there any mountains there? I may need to relocate. ^_^

Sounds like Maine has a lot of awareness.

It's gorgeous.

Nothing like the Rockies but it's home. :)

8. I'm glad for Dennis too

That young whippersnapper deserved to get on the board somewhere.
