Why don't Republicans make more of a play for Maine?

Maine has a strong streak that vote for a third party/independent.

Without a strong third party/independent candidate to split the vote, Maine is solidly Democratic.

If the temperament and statesmanship of these ladies were more widely reflected in our party across the country, I suspect this thread would be titled "Why don't Democrats make more of a play for Maine".

If the temperament and statesmanship of these ladies were more widely reflected in the party across the country, I would vote Republican.

But at last, these qualities does not reflect the party and I do not vote Republican.

That's what all Democrats say, but it's BS.  At the end of the day, almost every Republican is too fiscally conservative/pro-business for any real Dem to actually vote for them (regardless of how moderate they are on other stuff).

I voted for Steve Cooley in 2010.
