This is the latest in the Maine party defection saga, this was also the second 'rat defection in the last week or so.

Baldassi is very weak, and the moonbat fringe that has taken over the Maine 'rat party disguests most of the state. Neverless, the pubs have not been able to gain traction after having had gift after gift handed to them as a result of democrat blunders, and so some new blood might be a good thing.

Also, I am really likng the Village Soup - their reporting is excellent, and the coverage terrific. With the recent liberalization and reporting cutbacks of the Bangor Daily News, the Village Soup seems to have stepped in to fill a huge vaccuum.

and also, Maine is too close to Vermont, from which Howard Dean hails and I can't stand the mudhole he's put us in or the Treason he commits on a daily basis.

Thank you,

Will it change control of the state House? And was it the state House that the Democrats control because a judge ruled that votes cast in blue ink should count but those cast in black ink spoiled the ballot?

"I joined the Democratic Party when it was led by Ed Muskie, and I had the privilege of getting to know him personally before he died."

That's the best time to get to know someone. ba-da-bum

It's worth noting that the Republicans have not won control of the ME House of Representatives since 1972.

After the Dems lose in 06 look for the last "moderate" Democrats to begin defecting.

As a result, the Democrats have 73 members, the Republicans 73

There are 73 Repubs in Maine?
