Tuesday

Dems need a proven statewide winner to unseat Susan Collins. Dems need 4 seats to retake the Senate gavel. This is one of them!! And hey, she is like you said, 77 years old. She'll be a one termer. Heck, she may even retire mid term and then the D governor can appoint a younger progressive who will then be the incumbent in the next election. That sounds like a good plan to me!!
