(24,030 posts)wherein they claim "slim" lead for Graham vs. Concern is 48 to 43.
Now if it was reversed, they would say, Collins have a substantial lead.

(4,509 posts)Fwiw. And that was takem before the NYT hit piece and frenzy of atzacks.
Whereas Real Clear Polling had Platner up an average of 7.4 points across all polls in the last 3 monrhs. Last polling in May.
The GQP rat******* and intra-party attacks are working.
Why are Democrats shooting themselves in the foot?

(24,030 posts)and I think he's going to win.
It's one thing I've learned from the GQP, if polling somewhat or even favor their party, they will post it and run with it 24/7 while corporate media backs them up.
Also notice how quiet corporate media is about Paxton and how quickly his divorce hearing was canceled, and the 24/7 coverage of Graham P.
No coverage of all the sick things being done to the USA and her people by shithole, comrades and the Republican party.

(4,540 posts)There will be a debate and Planter will stand opposite Collins.
She will get torched, and I wouldn't be surprised if we get +9-11% in the general.

(4,540 posts)Not directly, obviously. Through a series of filters or mirrors or whatever.
She just doesn't have that pizazz anymore. The bloom is off the corpse.

(4,540 posts)I look forward to having a very high standard for his voting record once he's in the Senate.
After all, I've invested some personal credibility in him -- at least on this forum.

(53,777 posts)a few nights ago and I'm inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt, especially considering the source of the worst claim. We've seen this before.
I am still a bit disturbed by that tattoo, but all things considered, he appears to be a far better candidate for Maine than the very "concerned" Collins. It seems that Maine has had enough of her already.
Hopefully I am right in that I don't see a replay of Sinema or Fetterman.

(756 posts)To quote Pink Floyd, "Don't give me that do goody good bullshit." I interpret that as letting go of the purity litmus test. I know Dems hold their candidates to a higher standard than Repugs do, but even with Platner's faults, he's still the superior choice. And not voting at all is a vote for that Trump-sucking piece of shit Collins.
