Antiguv, how much money does Collins have in the bank right now?

I don't know, but I guarantee he will be financially competitive. Mac Collins's campaign tack is that he is running AS the incumbent.

These are the funraising totals through 31 Dec 2005.

Marshall Raised: $773,678
Collins Raised: $704,220

Marshall Cash on Hand: $858,986
Collins Cash on Hand: $543,491

Re your #69 -

"...how much money does Collins have in the bank right now?"

Senator Susan Collins (I assume that's who your are referring to) is not up for re-election this year.

That would be RINO Olympia Snowe, who the last time I checked had over $2 million in her war chest and is expected to have over $5 mil before the election.

She is a virtual shoe-in, and is very popular in Maine, which overwhelmingly went for Kerry in the last Presidential.

Only one contender - C. Tamboia - with little money, no political experience, and no chance has offered to oppose her in a primary (and it is unlikely that he will even collect enough signatures to get on the ballot) and as best I know the Dems have not yet nominated a Candidate for her seat.

If they do, it will likely be that they will only be a "token" adversary.

Said Dem contender would only have the ghost of a chance of prevailing if our esteemed Q of I keels over dead an hour after the polls close allowing Dem Gov. Baldacci to appoint a commie successor... which is highly unlikely, as Sen. Snowe is as healthy as a horse.

Come to think of it.... (awww; never mind...).

It is generally understood among Conservative circles here in Maine that not one Republican needs to vote for the "Queen of Infanticide" in order for her to maintain her incumbancy for life.

Any yet a lot of (most, actually) 'Pubbies will.

I fully expect her to beat KKK Byrd's record for oldest surviving Senator when she's about 110 and being wheeled into the Senate Chamber in a gurney hooked up to a respirator.

They may end up burying her underneath the podium after she finally quits championing and voting for abortion and taxes and assumes room temprature.

As an aside, 'Pubbies seem to have a knack for consistantly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

The way that our President is facilitating the Mexican takeover of our Southwest and lucrative drug trade while ceding port insecurity over to the Chicoms and Wahabbi Arabs, plus the Abramov scandals and total lack of leadership and competence demonstrated by clueless waste-of-space political rumpswabs like M. Scherkoff and his fellow hacks during the Katrina debacle, we very well may let the congressional majority slip back into the claws of the commiocrats by next December.

Really makes me want to write out a check to the GOP...
