Great! Summers won!

He has a solid background - military/private sector/political - and he’s personable. He speaks without histronics or denigrating his party opponants. He has a steady calmness that people pick up on...and he has a track record of taking on the enemy, no matter the odds.

http://www.sunjournal.com/news/maine/2012/06/12/summers-wins-gop-nomination-maine-us-senate-race/1209552

excerpt:
“Summers missed most of his last political campaign because he was in Iraq with the Navy Reserves.

He says his top priorities are to cut spending and to reduce the national debt. He supports the balanced budget amendment, line-item veto and repeal of President Barack Obama’s health care reform.”

In his early fifties, he has grown children and a little boy - a ‘surprise’ following his return home from Iraq. Obvioulsy, he and his wife didn’t think of him a a ‘punishment’.

He got my vote. First ray of sunshine for some time.

I’m glad you sound pleased with our nominee. I didn’t keep up with the crowded primary.

Summers ran 7 points ahead of McLame in the first district when he ran for that in 2008.

Ironically we need the democrat (a lock for third place) to do well. This can be a repeat of the 2010 Gov race.

I would really like to hang on to this one (or pick it up as it were since Snowe is pure crap). That witch better endorse Summers too or else she should be shot out of a cannon.

FYI the DSCC didn’t issue their normal congratulations press release for rat nominee Dill. We need the feminazi vote to come through for her.

Maineee...

Does he have a shot @ it?

Will he get on Levin, Bennett, Hewitt etc for money bombs?

Will Angus and the liberal loon be fighting for the same vote, and can Summers get the level headed Indies to squeak one out?
