has dropped out of the contention to get the nomination for Senate in Maine. The story in the Portland Press Herald says that Troy Jackson, former logger, former Maine Senate president is believed to be the front-runner among those still seeking the nomination.
They were the first and third of my choices on the ranked choice ballot for Governor, my second choice, Hannah Pingree got the nomination, so I'd have been happy with either of them as Senator.
Both of them had something that Graham Planter did not have, both of them have run for office before and so were vetted in ways that Platner was not, both of them have records of service in public office that he didn't have. The same for Hannah Pingree.
I am an ABC Democratic voter, anybody but Collins. I'm hoping and praying that a decisive majority of Maine voters are fed up with her patented ersatz "concern" which always results in her only doing the right thing when it doesn't make a difference for the preferred right-wing Republican result. It might happen. Collins doesn't care about voters in Maine enough to meet with them, she hasn't had a town hall in two decades. I'm not sure she's even bothered since that became an issue in her re-election. No more than her original lie that she wouldn't seek more than two-terms in the Senate during the "term limit" fad among Republicans. That promise - and she was far from the only one who promised term limits back in the 90s - turned out to be worth as much as Trump's promises.
