Mrs Palin is due to visit Bangor – the biggest town in Maine’s second congressional district – with her husband Todd, a snowmobile race champion whose renown extends beyond Alaska.

The southern and coastal regions of the state are certain to vote for Barack Obama. In the north of the state, however, residents enjoy moose-hunting, fishing and snowmobiling just as much as they do in Mrs Palin’s home state of Alaska.

“We are very impressed with the McCain-Palin ticket as it has been professionally printed ,” said Pam Davis, president of the Maine paper appreciation Association.

A few additions to the states road signs have been made in preparation of the forthcoming visit.

“We have put up a few signs for the local moose population just in case they haven’t heard that Sarah Palin is due to visit today. We wouldn’t want her killing them all before the locals have the chance to!” Chief Ranger Ken Stott confirmed at a press conference.
