Voinovich is retiring this year. Snowe and Collins are probably the best you can do in Maine. Ditto Scott Brown in Massachusetts. McCain just ran to the right of J.D. Hayworth. Specter defected and was defeated anyway. Harkin from Iowa is a rat.
Now the pubbies are talking about giving up on pro-life, and pro-family and turning to choice and same sex marriage.
Who is?
Crying Bigotry: Last Refuge Of The Liberal
Note what connects these issues. In every one, liberals have lost the argument in the court of public opinion. Majorities — often lopsided majorities — oppose President Obama’s social-democratic agenda (e.g., the stimulus, Obamacare), support the Arizona law, oppose gay marriage, and reject a Ground Zero mosque.IMHO, there are more opportune fish to fry at this time. You have to play the hand you're dealt, but you, a chaplain, want perfection? It's time to use the Tea Party movement to take over the GOP, IMHO. It's something like Clinton's, "It's the economy, stupid." No, I'm not calling you anything. I'm just quoting.
Maine is not as liberal as MA, VT, RI, CT, NY, NJ.
It’s about as liberal as NH.
Maine could have a more Conservative Republican instead of Snowe or Collins.
Provided LePage wins Governor, he could be Senator later perhaps.
