For Scontras, it is all about York County
By James W. Pindell, Politicker.com EditorPORTLAND -- Dean Scontras, the businessman seeking the Republican nomination in the 1st Congressional District tonight, said in an interview that he "feels good" about his chances tonight even though early returns show him behind 10 percentage points.
"We took some losses early, but we are really watching York County right now," said Scontras.
A political newcomer, Scontras said that no matter what happens tonight he is proud of the campaign he ran and that he will go back to being a family man. That said, he is not conceding anything yet.
Returns from his home county of York have been slow to come in, but it does show him with a 19 percent lead so far, according to Scontras's internal numbers.

"Just because there are a lot of firsts doesn't mean there can't be a lot of seconds, thirds and fourths along the way. Maine men and women are sharing responsibilities more than in many other states, most other states."
