Five days before voters go to the polls to determine the outcome of the Senate, President Barack Obama was in the 41st most populated state wading into a contentious three-way race for governor. But even before he left the modest nature of the trip on behalf of Democrats was readily apparent. The airport was small, so Obama was relegated to a comparatively teeny modified Boeing-757 serving as Air Force One. If any campaign swing captured the sorry state of the president before next week’s election, it was his five-hour exile to Maine Thursday afternoon. Obama’s first event was a private fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee at a remote mansion accessible only by a 10-minute drive down a one-lane gravel road.
