It's ranked one of the worst to do business in by Forbes.

Yet, it is not racist and is one of the most liberal states in the country.

A great place to live. The coast has thousands of islands and the north country is some of the wildest in the lower 48. Even atheists call it God's country. It's so beautiful.

Looking at it from afar, many see La Page and think that the Tea Party is thriving but the opposite is true. This state is running a three party system and Independents are a power there. La Page won because Liberals were split.

I'll bet if you could get the IQ's of voters registered, La Page would lose by 95%.
