I don't think people have been assuming Obama will win. Usually, people seem to be taking the reasonable position, that no one really knows enough about Maine to say (and Maine is pretty unpredictable). A lot of Maine is like the non-suburban/urban areas of New Hampshire, which Obama won, but it also has a higher number of French Canadians, who preferred Clinton.
What may be the deciding factor is who visits the state: Obama is visiting, but Clinton is not.
When and where is he visiting?
Tomorrow. Bangor, I believe.
Not so. If he was I think the local press would have picked up on it and they haven't.
Ah no, wrong Bangor. My apologies 
Nasty side-effect of naming all the cities in the Northeast after British ones.
