Were you at the Convention when WE passed our “new” platform? (actually sort of a RESTORED Republican / Constitutional platform)?
Did you get a look at Snowe’s face when the place exploded for Paul LePage and her “anointed” primary Candidate for Gov. Steve Abbott got a “ho-hum” reception?
Did you see all the yellow Gadsden flags around the hall? She did.
She may still assume that she owns this State and her party machine, but I suspect that she might have taken a little pause for concern.
IF we can put up a VIABLE Candidate against her, (and alas, I have yet to see one step forward) this might be the year... or so we might hope.
Great report on your convention! Snowe got huffy during the early Tea Party weeks in an effort to marginalize them and elevate herselfness. However, after the election she has damned sure toned it down, so I think you’re on to something about “this year may be the year” to de-throne the big time liberal. Can not imagine that Independents would blow off a Snowe opponent after this horrendous year of Obama and his little elves on our side of the aisle, or else these same Independents would be all out democrat and they are not. How come? They could be of help if a candidate would just teach them the danged Constitution and discuss the wreckage of run amok marxism. Independents in Maine can’t be marxists, or they would already be democrat.
What do you think? (I’m not from Maine.)
I’m fed up with lending our name to liberals and then trying to convince anyone there are two parties. In Maine there are not two party’s, in my opinion.
