Maybe this is what happened.

After reading the paper, lessoning to the news and reading the comments on D U it sounds like Democrats are still trying to figure out what happened. I live in Somerset county and it happens to be one of the poorer counties in the state. Yet before the election every lawn had a Le Page sign. Half these people were receiving some form of assistance yet they just couldn't connect or understand it was their head on the chopping block. No they just knew it was the other people who should be cut from assistance. My father used to tell me there is nothing more dangerous then a fools who thinks they are smart.
