Silver lining, we now have a much better chance at scooping up Michaud’s House seat. The 2010 nominee (who some polls showed in the lead but it wasn’t that close) Jason Levesque is running against as is Senate President Kevin Raye who was the 2002 nominee for the then open seat. Raye might switch to the Senate race. Another State Senator, Debra Plowman is also running. Michaud’s replacement as rat nominee is probably House Minority leader Emily Cain.
Wow both congressman and the former Governor, state rats have been waiting for this.
I think the rats will probably win the Senate seat but it’s far from the certainty that many news articles claim it is.
There is a lot of room in between a real conservative and a moderate democrat like Snowe. Raye for example falls somewhere in there.
A couple statewide officers (appointed by the leg), are also mentioned as possible GOP candidates.

Snowe was NEVER “my” RINO, thank God.

And then there’s the first Mr. Snowe, Pete Snowe. Olympia started her political career by being appointed to fill his seat in the Maine legislature after he died in a car crash. Think it was sometime in the 70s.

So the standard is you have to be photographed with Palin and then you’re all right? LOL.
I’d like to keep that seat’s organizational vote but I feel not the slightest pang of wistfulness for yellow Snowe.

Eh, don't be so hard on him for the Sarah Palin-Olympia Snowe photo. Alot of leftists decide that someone is a "Bush clone" simply because they appear to be smiling in a photo taken with George W. Bush. They cite that is irrefutable "proof" that Joe Lieberman and Mark Kirk are tied to the hip of Bush, for example.
I wonder if they think Barack Obama is a "Bush clone":
;-)

thanx for the ping, imp.
Maine was in a tizzy last month when I was there due to the primary against Snowe .... now it is a free-for-all. Rural politics, nothing beats it.

Ayuh. After Snowe left the planet, Jock wasted little time in slidin' into the driver's seat.
