Wedding bells will soon be ringing for Sen. Susan Collins.
The Maine Republican is engaged to Thomas Daffron, 73, the chief operating officer for the D.C.-based Jefferson Consulting Group.
According to the consulting group’s website, Daffron served as chief of staff to former Sens. Fred Thompson (R-Tenn.) and William Cohen (R-Maine). He was also a speechwriter for the late Sen. Charles Percy (R-Ill.), a campaign manager for former GOP presidential candidate Elizabeth Dole, and a consultant during all three of Collins’ Senate campaigns.
Collins, 59, has never been married.

Well, in lobbyist terms, that’s called “Taking a Big One for the Team.”

I always thought the two Maine RINO senators swung the other way.

Maybe this just furthers the notion that sexual orientation is a choice. She might be changing her mind.
