It's encouraging, but for all the wrong reasons. Raye is practically the very worst the GOP could've dredged up for a nominee, along with the liberal RINO Jeb Bradley they nominated for Sununu's seat in NH.

I'm well aware of Bradley's dubious "credentials", but did not realize Raye was cut from the same cloth. I saw that he was rated strongly by the NRA, and was hoping he was a conservative. Thanks for the heads-up.

Raye's wife once worked for Emily's List and he is rabidly proabortion as well as a panty waste Republican: career water carrier for RINO's in Maine; never held a job in the private sector in his adult life.

As for Bradley, I am still puzzled. A draft dodger, he has to his credit earning a sociology degree from Tufts (1971 to 1974), while other young men his age were fighting and dying in Vietnam. Had time to learn rock climbing but no time to serve in uniform.

Bradley went home to the lakes region and worked in his family hardware store. He was a democrat until 1989; It would be interesting to see if he voted for Mondale, Hart or Jackson.

Now, where he stands on the death penalty, gay marriage, women in combat, drafting women into the military, the flag ammendment, etc. etc. it still unknow.

That he was elected still befuddles me; a hardware store owner who likes to climb rocks.

The two RINOS are the strongest candidates, and probably the only two that could win, certainly in Maine, and arguably in NH. Stephens winning would have been a nail biter. Now the NH1 seat is reasonably calculated to be held by the GOP. But then you already knew that.
