So a possibility of two GOP senate holds (Brown and Snowe’s successor) and a GOP senate pickup (McMahon) in New England.

Not bad for the land of East Coast moonbats.

Best news I’ve had all day! Charlie Summers is a very good man who would do a good job speaking for Maine in the Senate. King’s always been out for King. Kind of like Snowe! I made the mistake of trusting her, fool that I was. King has the same smell about him. I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him!

King had it in the bag. Then someone observed that NO DEMOCRAT WAS RUNNING a real race ~ Dill was at 7% and seemed happy. That’s when this happened: http://legalinsurrection.com/2012/08/can-we-do-to-dems-in-maine-what-they-did-to-us-in-missouri/ and King’s standing tanked!

King: “My Republican opponent and I disagree on lots of things. Charlie signed a no taxes ever pledge that will make it impossible to solve the deficit. He doubts climate change science, favors taxpayer subsidies for big oil, and thinks Washington isn’t broken,” King says, alluding to Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist’s oft-cited and GOP-signed no-tax pledge.

Charlie’s surging!

Some thought this race would tighten up and it has. The Dem seems to be taking a big bite out of King.

The Norquist no tax pledge was mentioned in the Brown, Fischer and now this debate. Boy they always have the same talking points - one per week (hehe)!
