McCain plans "aggressive" front in Maine?

U.S. Sen. John McCain's political director, Mike DuHaime, told reporters on a conference call Thursday that the campaign plans an "aggressive" front in Maine, according to the liberal political blog, dailykos.

"The sudden attention to Maine, which is getting some of the staff McCain is moving out of Michigan, reflects what a squeaker McCain expects," according to the blog.

Maine is not a winner-take-all state. Nebraska is the only other state that splits its electoral vote is Nebraska. The blog said that McCain aides are suggesting the Republican nominee can win one electoral vote by picking up one of the Pine Tree State's two congressional districts."

I'm happy the McCain camp is coming, let him spend some of that $2 Million he got in political contributions from oil companies* here! We need it more than he does, since he owns more homes and properties than he can remember, and his Rich wife won't disclose how rich, or where the money comes from, as Presidential candidates have always divulged.
