  1. That’s nowhere near enough for early polling…. Platner needs to ramp it up across the state 

  2. Aipac and united democracy project are gonna flood the zone on this one. Were gonna see some nasty attack adds on platner. I think platner is currently outraising her though.

    Once again, its gonna be grassroots money vs cufi, aipac and udp.

    This is a situation where we need to really be aware of and respect the electoral prowess of our opponent. The data on Susan Collins Senate campaigns is truly shocking.

    These are the Susan Collins campaigns that went up against presidential campaigns:

    1996 Maine Results: Clinton 51% Dole 31% Perot 14% SEN: Collins wins 49%-44% Swing from GOP candidate: Collins +25

    2008 Maine Results: Obama 58% McCain 40% SEN: Collins wins 61%-39% Swing from GOP candidate: Collins +40

    2020 Maine Results: Biden 53% Trump 44% SEN: Collins wins 51%-42% Swing from GOP candidate: Collins +18

    And for completion’s sake, she won her 2002 election by 17 points and her 2014 election by 37 points.

    Maine is a weird place, and Susan Collins is electoral dynamite apparently. This will NOT be easy.

  4. We are completely hosed if it’s still this close. I just can’t comprehend it.

    You would think the people of Maine would be exhausted by now with her Charlie Brown football routine. How many times has this woman pretended to stand on principle then inexplicably jumped back in line last minute to support Pedolph Shitler’s idiotic policies?

    I strongly suspect that in a few years we’ll be looking at a Fetterman situation and people will be asking: “How did this happen? This turn came out of nowhere.”

    Please don’t be the next Fetterman, please don’t be the next Fetterman, please don’t be the next Fetterman…

    God this chick sucks. Im so fucking tired of her pretending to be conflicted or outraged by something republicans do only to go along with it 100% of the time.

    She literally shakes like MJ Fox with no explanation.

    That’s enough for me to pick anyone else.

  10. Ur gonna want a 8-12 pt lead going into Eday but collins always closes v strong with undecideds.

  11. “We want an 80 year old geriatric senator!!” -a lot of Maine apparently

    what was the polling the last time Collins was up? I don’t remember the numbers off the top of my head, but i swear i remember reading this exact same rhetoric before.

    Something will happen. Nothing good ever happens electorally anymore.

  14. I’d say I have no faith in Mainers, but I live in Texas and have no faith in Texans either.

    Even if he wins, I can count on Democrats to take the wrong lesson from it

    I’m optimistic for Platner but I’m also traumatized by Fetterman’s betrayal. In fact, all of these “normal guy/gal” candidates will have me excited and concerned after Fetterman was bought out for cheap.

    Chuck Schumer is sweating somewhere. Wouldn’t be surprised if they started having donors bankroll HER campaign just to avoid the possibility of someone like Platner getting a seat.
