A poll from Maine since Platner dropped out...

I saw this on CNN.

Before Platner dropped out of the race, Susan Collins was up by +1 in the poll.

Since Platner dropped out, a generic poll showed Democrats up by +13 points. Granted that does not show a specific name, but it could be a good indicator for the Democrats, in my opinion.

Susan Collins is not as popular this time around as she was in previous elections, for whatever reason. Her voting record may have finally caught up with her?

If the Democrats can take that seat, it would be a big step forward in taking control of the Senate.

And that would be a big step in taking our country back from the brink.

Isn’t Collins behind pretty much every time she’s up for re-election? She was trailing Platner too, before… well, you know.

When your party is going down the drain any glimmer of hope is believable to them. :thatsright: :loser: :loser: :loser:

There's still plenty of time for Democrats to screw this up, even if they truly are ahead (which I doubt).

Nothing quite says 'Preserving Muh Democracy!" quite like 600 Party insiders overriding the votes of 150,000 citizens.

600 party insiders, and probably even fewer whose opinion really counts for anything.

How many "Super Delegates" will it take to override the 600?
