“Because of the concentrated efforts of millions of Republicans all over America, Susan Collins (Maine) was reelected to the Senate, surviving a challenge once thought to be serious. She won, in large part, because she was able to drown her Democratic adversary in a sea of campaign spending made possible by donations from Republicans throughout the nation.”
Morris doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The only people who thought Tom Allen had a chance against Collins were his campaign staff and some of his family members. Allen did just about everything wrong in his run. He couldn’t even carry Democrat strongholds. Collins money made no, or virtually no, difference. Maine people of both parties like her and she won 61.5%-38.5%. Olympia Snowe has done and will do even better. There won’t be a conservative Republican elected from Maine in our lifetime no matter what the Right in other parts of the country do or try to do.
Spending money on right wing challengers to Snowe or Collins in Maine is flushing money down a rathole.
It was a race between two liberal democrats. Collins won because Allen had no clue what he was doing.
Because I had an Idea that the RNC would spend my contributions on any of these three traders, I tore up my RNC request for donations.
The Republican party if not brought back from the Dead by choaking off these and like minded liberals in our party, if it is not done soon and now, I will be an Independent.
I will not be a party to these people.
