Susan Rice For Maine?

I had no idea that Susan Rice had Maine roots when she suggested she might run against Susan Collins, The Disgrace of Maine.  Apparently her mother is a Mainer and she has a home here. 

If she does "come from away" that isn't any bar to her holding statewide office in Maine.  Two term governor, current Senator Angus King is originally from Virginia, we've had numerous and major state office holders from other states, Libby Mitchell, former speaker of the Maine Legislature was from South Carolina, many knew that as he served as the Senator from Maine, William Cohen didn't actually have a real residence here, living with his wife in Florida as he claimed his father's house as his "official" residence.  I used to say that Maine was so broadminded it didn't mind having a Senator from Florida represent it.  Even if Susan Rice is a "come from away" Susan Collins the coward from Caribou just told Maine residents to go to hell with her decision to vote for Kavanaugh so it's clear she's not really here anymore.  She has contempt for the People of Maine. If we had a mechanism for removing her I'd favor it.  She is disgusting in her Republican-partisan hypocrisy.

 

I would rather have someone like Susan Rice run than another Democrat from the Cumberland-Kennebec county stronghold who the establishment figures is due the nomination but who can't win an election.  It's dim in my memory but I believe some of the stupidest ideas such as the ridiculously open ballot access that plagues the Democratic Party also originated in that establishment, or, rather, their parents generation of the same.  Though what I want more than anything is someone who can beat her or whoever else the Republican-fascists put up.  And in Maine, believe me, the redolently putrid Susan Collins is the least putrid Republican who's likely to be nominated.
