WATERVILLE, Maine — Graham Platner supporters are still pining for the disgraced pol just days before the US Senate election, concerned their backup choice lacks the pizzazz needed to mobilize the base.
Almost four months after Platner was forced out of his Senate race due to a rape accusation, local Democrats at a rally for his replacement, Troy Jackson, admitted they wished Platner were still on the ticket and regretted how his political career was cut short.
“The establishment did not want him to be out there mobilizing people who had never voted before, just for change,” former Waterville Mayor Karen Heck lamented to The Post about Platner at a Jackson town hall event on Monday.
“It’s another example of innuendo taking somebody down who was popular,” she added. “Not to say you don’t believe women, but there were circumstances around that allegation that were never investigated … the prosecutor should actually believe women and bring those cases forward.”
Many at Jackson’s rally hope Platner runs again, as they miss the energy and massive crowds the scandal magnet ginned up compared to Jackson’s much milder presence, even as they are careful not to be too dismissive of the accusations against him.
Heck contended that the timing of the story on Jenny Racicot’s rape accusations against Platner just before the deadline for him to drop out was very suspicious and questioned why he isn’t being prosecuted if the allegations are credible.

“That’s my kind of man!” - Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)
Doesn’t matter to these people-you all know that.
Makes me wonder. 1992-Bill Clinton had a black son-supposedly. So why didn’t it come out in a timely manner? Didn’t come out at all as I remember. Lee Atwater was not around to bring it up.
Bio says he is still married. That would disappoint the women who will visit him in prison someday if he gets convicted. That psychological condition of hybristophilia.
Technically, it means for men who are criminals, not just currently in prison.
“Hybristophilia is sexual interest in and attraction to those who commit crimes.” Clyde of Bonnie and Clyde, Luigi Mangione, et al.
Locally, one house had its Platner sign up long after he withdrew. Their Jackson sign just went up a few weeks ago. I’m sure there were tears in that household.
They shouldn’t take this dirty-doing lying down! They should write him in!
I also was sad to see Platner being pushed out.
Just because he gets off wacking off in porta potties is no reason to deny a fellow a shot at the Senate.
They did. He represents the things their party stands for.
“They should write him in!” - exactly my first thought also - split the D vote a bit more.
Them Mainers be crazy...must be the long cold that destroys their brain cells.
There is a strong commie/socialist streak running thru the working class there...its not just blue hairs and lispers in Augusta and Portland.
It kind of explains why Collins is a RINO...she has to appeal to those folks to win.
Beats all I ever saw...
Liberal Republican Margaret Chase Smith was too conservative for ME; so she was booted out in 1972. Oddly, ME is one of the states that voted three times for Nixon and twice for Reagan.
I got it wrong. I suspect ME voted in 1968 for HHH because their Muskie was in the VP slot.
My thoughts exactly! Maybe Collins should start and support a write in campaign for Platner.

Then maybe these leftist Mainer’s should vote him in as a write in.
Accused rapist Graham Platner is pissed as ever after crashing out of Maine Senate race: ‘Who the f–k are you weirdos’
Muskie? Thought it was Eagleton.
Muskie? Thought it was Eagleton.
