I was afraid King might have a decisive edge. This poll indicates it’s anyone’s game. A Republican worth his salt should be able to get about the same 38% or so that Paul LePage got.
But will the democrats pull a Kendrick Meek special and abandon their horse for King if it looks like the Republican might win?

At some point, King will have to start talking about issues, and he will lose either GOP or Dem support. I like our chances in a three-way race if we run a moderate-to-conservative Republican—not a Jesse Helms (LePage isn’t Jesse Helms), but certainly not a Snowe or Collins.

Remind me again .. who won that race??? :-) :-)
Seems like a win/win for us in Maine, we get an Indie middle of road type (which is what Snowe / Collins are anyway) or we get an actual Republican. I guess the D could win if we put up a weak candidate, but ... Much better odds than a straight up R vs D race.
