Many, many Mainers already have decided against her. Collins, no matter her age or her "supposed" experience helped her recognize the lies Brett Kavanaugh told in his confirmation hearing. She is a shill, bought and paid for. Platner is more than a callow youth who only farms oysters. He has the big MO........as far as the Fetterman comparison. I'd be willing to bet real cash, Platner will wear a suit when he serves and not shorts and a sweatshirt.
