23. It's a beautiful area. I went to college up there so I have a soft spot for it as well.

Blue Dog Mike Michaud represented the district for a while. The fact that he worked at a paper mill for years and was seen as an every day, down-to earth kind of guy really worked in his favor and allowed Dems to hold onto the seat. Unfortunately, status quo uninspiring Emily Cain has run for the seat the last two times and lost. A blue collar person, a veteran... some sort of "outsider" would be ideal.
