Mainiacs. This isn't an anti-Obama post. I just thought that would be a funny play on words. Whoops. This isn't flame bait.

2. They are often called Mainiacs, genius
where are you from? I'm from VT and that's what we call them here- with great affection, I might add.

8. May I express my admiration for your restraint? I cannot, myself, be so diplomatic, so
I'm going to invite the OP to go fuck himself. (OP:) You don't like Maine, or the people who live and / or vote there? Then stay the fuck home and don't go to Maine. Asshole. Redstone

9. Then in equal affection
do you like being called CUPCAKE or KUMQUAT, since I see you label most people with that.

14. boy did I start shitstorm with this one
I just thought it would be a funny play on words. Something to put on a t-shirt like "Virginia is for lovers." The fact that this make people angry didn't even cross my mind. I'm from California, BTW.

11. Real mature, and germane to the discussion of the Primaries, isn't that post.
I have about as much respect for the OP as you do. Redstone

I had to amend my OP because I got so much shit for it. The fact that everyone assumed that I posted this because I hate Barack Obama is a testament to how corrosive the debate on DU has been recently.

18. No - they ARE called Mainiacs
At least they were when I lived there. And proudly too, I might add.
