she has a 52% disapproval rating in her own state. This number used to be closer to 15%.

Good. Hopefully it will be decisive.

I doubt she's underwater in rural inland Maine, but she's really really underwater in greater Portland and 3/4 of the coastal communities.

Are the coastal communities liberal? I always think of New England fisherman as white working class bravado and beating your foul-talking baby-gatling wife after a hard day of blue collar cliches.

Mainers are a friendly bunch who's economy is highly reliant on tourism - either Canadians coming down to their beaches in search of warmer water (I'm not kidding, and the water in Maine never gets above 40 degrees from my personal experience) or wealthy snobby Ma ssholes throwing their money around (I don't know anybody like that...). There's also no strain of religious fundamentalism. Hence, its a good Dem state.

People make too much or rural vs urban. Rural Dem states not dominated by an in-state urban area are places like Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, New Mexico. The divide is sane vs insane. Mainers are sane except for their desire to wear short sleeve shirts in mid December during blizzards on their way to the hockey game.

Sigh. How does this help? C'mon, man. As tiresome as their dumb dog pile on you is, you make it so easy for them.

We have a crack in the wall; let's drive through it not stop to quibble with each other.

When I moved to Portland (the other one) I could not believe people went around all day in drenching rain without an umbrella. By the third winter I was doing it. Fighting it makes no sense and after a while you accept that. You're gonna be wet for 7 months; it won't kill you.

I remember a moment walking up Libe Slope in sophomore year, about 3 below, when I just made my peace with the cold. I stopped shivering and relaxed and just let myself be cold. I stopped being anxious about it and it actually stopped being as bad. "Fear is the mind killer."

Or it's Meteorological Stockholm Syndrome.

coastal communities are very liberal until you pass Mount Desert Island. Then it gets very conservative. I live on Mount Desert Island, and only one municipality in Maine voted more lopsided for Clinton over Trump (Portland)

Bar Harbor, ME:
Clinton: 71.9%
Trump: 22.8%
Johnson: 3.4%

Portland, ME
Clinton: 76%
Trump: 17.9%
Johnson: 3.4%

Maine coastal communities aren't so much fishermen now as rich folks building giant McMansions along the seacoast.

And tourism.
