It's Maine, folks. Unless trees get the vote up there, they will never elect any Republican who conservatives in the rest of the country would think of as conservative.

Right now Collins doesn't have an opponent, and nobody who has a chance of winning the general election is on the horizon as a potential opponent.

FWIW: Ron Paul did very well in the 2012 Maine Republican caucus, winning most of the delegates and coming within a hair of winning the popular vote. Republican caucuses, though, aren't a reflection of where the state as a whole is politically.

Paul did not have to get involved with Susan Collins, this is just more of his establishing what his politics are.

A more proforma> endorsement might have sufficed. Something like, "I'm a Republican and I want to have a Republican Senate. So I'm for Senator Collins."
