Tardy: McCain wants “significant presence” in Maine
Maine House Minority Leader Josh Tardy, R-Newport, said Friday that the McCain campaign will have a "significant presence" in Maine, particularly in the 2nd Congressional District.
In a phone interview, Tardy said those who live in the massive district that includes Waterville, Lewiston/Auburn, Downeast and northern Maine, will see more television ads and possibly campaign appearances by Sen. John McCain or his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin.
On Thursday, the McCain campaign announced that it would no longer fight Democratic Sen. Barack Obama in Michigan and would be shifting money elsewhere. Among the places mentioned was Maine.
"You think about sort of the demographics and that Congressional District 2 is just loaded with sportsmen and women," Tardy said. "They have a lot in common with Gov. Palin."
Despite double-digit leads for Obama in July and August, a more recent Rasmussen poll pegged the race at 50 percent for Obama and 46 percent for McCain.
Republicans are hoping to pick up at least one of the state's electoral votes because of Maine's unusual system. With four electoral votes to award, Maine gives two to the statewide winner, but each Congressional district can award one as well.
Tardy said a close race nationally means every electoral college vote will count.
"It could very well come down to one electoral vote," he said. "It's a precious commodity."
There is no need to get into political arguments with anyone when these videos so clearly state the facts. Put your ideology and opinions aside, and let the facts speak. Then email these to EVERYONE you know. Nothing can improve when we do not understand the factors that led to the liquidity crisis. With facts, however, things can change for the better.

Palin is a gimmick. Hew smarmy downhome, gotcha,eyewinking tactics shouldn't fool anyone with half a brain. McCain is too old, too angry, shoots from the hip without thinking and should not be considered for the highest office in this nation. Palin is not knowledgeble enough about world affairs, or even this country's affairs, to take over. She governs a state that subsists on oil revenues and is probably deep in the pockets of the oil companies......watch out America. You voted Bush in twice...are you still that stupid? We need a thoughtful leader and McCain is not it.

Wink wink. Healthcare for all, wink wink. Dental care for all, wink wink. Balance the budget wink wink. End the war in Iraq, wink wink. Tax cut for middle Americans, wink wink. Diplomacy first, wink wink.
The wink is a facial expression made by briefly closing one or both eyes. A wink is a form of semi-formal communication, which indicates shared, unspoken knowledge.
The American people are too stupid to know McCain's real intentions.
