I was only addressing the sexting, I gather you missed that. I did not call anything else the P word.

I agree, but I think Maine Democrats could have come up with less controversial candidate

They didn't, so the only choice will be Collins or Platner. I would prefer Susan Collins not be re-elected.

Somebody vetted him. That's how we know that Platner is a gay bashing, rape apologizing, racist

Yes, great reminder about Gabbard and Uyger. It's quite an unmistakable list, and there is no apology or explanation

That's not true. Three Democrats will be on the June 9 ballot: Platner, Mills, and David Costello.

Costello's polling at 3 to 4%, Mills withdrew from the race, and Platner is the presumptive nominee.

You're right, it's never too late; Mills could re-enter the race and Platner could do the decent thing and drop out.

Mills is still on the ballot, but I'm not sure why David Costello is being dismissed out of hand.

Getting it drunk sure, possible, having it for almost 20 years without knowing seems very unlikely to me

That doesn't make him a Republican. Political affiliation is determined by voter registration, not how you vote.

Was Platner lying or *mis-remembering* when he spoke to CNN six months ago?

Was Platner lying or *mis-remembering* when he claimed to never have been "close to money"

Woh, Platner seems to be *mis-remembering* his record of voting for Collins.

I care about both, but neither is as bad as enabling the Rapist Felon Party.

It is almost as if some people believe a news story 9 days out can swing an election polling 76-10-3.

He IS the nominee. Mills suspended her campaign, the others are polling in the single digits, and it's a week away.
