Former Maine Gov. Angus King told a series of gatherings in Washington this week that he really, truly hasn’t decided which party he’d caucus with next year if elected to the Senate, according to four lobbyists who attended events with King.
King is seeking the open Senate seat of retiring GOP Sen. Olympia Snowe. He has insisted that he’s keeping an open mind about his caucus affiliation, though he has endorsed President Barack Obama for reelection.

If he’s endorsed Obama for reelection, that tells us everything we need to know.

It would be hard to find a more blatant example of a ‘rat tacking right to get elected, before the lurch to the wrong.. I mean, left.

As was very telling during the 2010 elections, if they won’t tell you which party they’re affiliated with up front then they’re democrats.

Just by reading this short bit, we know this guy is shuck and jive, or he needs to grow a pair. Don’t count on the latter, because it requires principles, and obviously he doesn’t have any. And while foolish people can almost be excused for voting for Obama the first time, foolish people being what they are, there is no escaping the idiot label for those doing it a second time. As a replacement for Olympia Snowe, he is status quo. Maine can do better.

Can’t decide on a political party.
He’s not sure if he is for America or against America.

He has insisted that he’s keeping an open mind about his caucus affiliation, though he has endorsed President Barack Obama for reelection.
Lets see...I think he'll join the LIBERTARIAN PARTY, because you know LIBERTARIANS will help Oblame-o win this year.

King was meeting with a bunch of lobbyists. His party affiliation isn’t important. Lobbyists just needed assurance King is a whore like the rest of Congress.
