Republicans say they were robbed of the Maine Senate because Democrats successfully challenged ballots with votes cast by pen instead of pencil and ballots with Mickey Mouse as a write-in for a judge's race.

Snow and Collins are the key. Good chip to play for their votes.

I beg to differ. Snowe and Collins mouthed a good game to keep Loring Air Force Base open, but that's all it was. A good MOUTH! They don't have the pull they THINK they have.

But, of course, since there are "two Maines," and they could care less about northern Maine, they will probably have pull to keep the ones open in southern Maine. We can't even get an interstate on up here. Everything is for southern Maine! We may as well be in CANADA!

Pay for votes, register the dead, let any illegal immigrant register to vote

Got THAT right! They take the immigrants by hand within 10 days after they hit Maine to register DemocRAT! How the heck are we to beat THAT!

Let's see which is first with the RATS in control of all four branches of government:

This would be a better argument if the 'pubbies had shown any spine when they had at least some power.
