- ET TU, MAINERS?

- George Bush may be a summertime neighbor in Kennebunkport,
- but the final election returns showed that Maine voters awarded
- the President a sorry third place in November's balloting, with
- 206,504 votes (30.39%), trailing Ross Perot, who won 206,820
- (30.44%) and Bill Clinton, the victor with 263,420 (38.8%).
- Perot finished second in one other state, Utah. His strong run
- in Maine showed again that the state is receptive to mavericks.
- Down Easters chose independent James Longley as Governor in 1974
- and made Jerry Brown the winner of last February's Democratic
- caucuses.
