The political earth shook in Maine in 1996. The projected Democratic performance
rose 7% statewide, a Republican House incumbent was swept aside and public
financing was adopted for state elections. Yet an open
Senate seat went to a moderate Republican, reflecting the state's Republican
heritage. 1998 demonstrated that the partisan shift may last, as Democratic
incumbents won even more comfortably than in 1996.
