General Discussion

It depends on how badly republicans will be despised going into the elections.

If this is a wave similar to 2006, even a candidate with as much baggage as Platner could win. Maine is an odd state. They may very well dismiss his past comments. Collins’ approval ratings are also terrible.

That said, I wish there were other candidates besides someone who is almost 80 (even if she is the sitting governor), and someone so poorly vetted.
