LePage might be the most important story of the election that very few even know about. Maine might be leading a GOP comeback in the wildly liberal northeast. And LePage is doing it as a pro-life conservative. Amazing.
This. And the Northeast is a diverse region. To characterize Maine and especially New Hampshire as "wildly liberal" is epic hyperbole.
Maine is still one of the more ideologically liberal states in the country, even if the surrounding states make it look more moderate. It is is far cry from a swing state, which might also now be true increasingly of New Hampshire
