“But will the democrats pull a Kendrick Meek special and abandon their horse for King if it looks like the Republican might win?”


Not if the Dem nominee is Pingree or Baldacci.

At some point, King will have to start talking about issues, and he will lose either GOP or Dem support. I like our chances in a three-way race if we run a moderate-to-conservative Republican—not a Jesse Helms (LePage isn’t Jesse Helms), but certainly not a Snowe or Collins.

Pingree has bowed out in apparent deference to King who calls her a “friend”.

Pingree: “We have seen three-way contests before become very complex (in Maine) and I didn’t want to take the chance that my entering the race would make it more likely for a Republican to be the next senator from the state of Maine,”

If Baldacci quits too we’ll know the fix is in and that powerful rats favor King.

Baldacci just pulled out - that is a plus.

However, he likely pulled out because his party willo back KING - who has a beter chance of winning - AND, king just endorsed obama -

So it's all downhill from there
