So far, no outside Democratic groups have come to Janet Mills’ aid in the state on the airwaves. One recent poll conducted by a firm that also works for the committee that elects Senate Democrats found her lagging behind Platner by nearly 40 percentage points.

Still cannot believe that Maine residents are so ridiculous that they’re willing to vote for Platner in a way that they weren’t for Gideon in 2020, but these dummies keep electing Collins, so I guess it’s the Nazi tattoo guy into the big tent

Collins voting against Obamacare repeal and against Barrett saved her ass. Plus, the fact Gideon was from Rhode Island.

Rallying behind another senior citizen who should be retiring rather than running for a 6 year seat is political suicide for any other Democrat. Schumer shit the bed on this pick and demonstrated yet again he is the wrong leader for the this time in history.

That's because Mills is a zombie candidate. Why burn any money on an obviously losing effort. I'm assuming most Dem primary voters are hip to the dumb shit Platner was up to and have decided they don't really care about it.

Maybe the electorate is like Rip Van Winkle and are waking up that the country needs to change. Now the challenge for all of us is what is the change we need. Plantar must be sharing convincing ideas.
