Could Maine be a Slice of Romney's Win?

Supporters of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney are scouting an unlikely path to the White House through the vast forests and blueberry barrens of northern Maine.
President Barack Obama is expected to win the Pine Tree State easily in the November 6 election.
Regardless, Romney allies are buying TV time with the hope of carrying the state's thinly populated interior and scraping out one Electoral College vote in Maine that could edge their man closer to the 270 needed to win the White House.
Most states give all of their electoral votes to the winner, but Maine and Nebraska award one electoral vote to the winners of each of their congressional districts, two in Maine and three in Nebraska.
