This is an awkward situation for both parties, but more so for conservatives, as Angus King is more liberal than conservative though to the right of most DemocRATS. Republicans need to watch this race closely. Independents tend to peak early and fade as the election approaches.

Except for a Dem. Yes, I know she is practically Democrat. But she had an R by her name and counted toward the total for control of the Senate and the Committees.

The Maine I knew as a boy was fiercely independent. I don’t know what happened to them over the years. But the chances of electing a real conservative are just about zero.

Look to the Governor’s race in Maine and be encouraged. Doesn’t anyone have any courage for their convictions. If your in the middle all the time your like a wet dishcloth that lays around and smells.
Who’s the Tea Party candidate??
It seems to me that most articles written in the media are designed to cast doubt on a Republican with conservative tendancies. Nonsense!!!

Well in THAT case let's make sure we get an (R) then, even if it's a Kennedy!

ROTF!

Must have those (R)'s at any cost!

It's that kind of thinking that has given us our progressive government.

He!!, even Snarlin' Arlen was an (R) at one time.

Wow, what an asset he was too!

Angus King will be just another tally in the column for Harry Reid. Hopefully they do split the vote and a conservative wins.

"King has steadfastly refused to say with which party he’ll cast his lot"

Typical 'rat.

You are absolutely correct, I just have a problem with those who you never know when they will stab you in the groin with a #2 pencil, you just know they are and this skank is one of those.

That’s a laugh, the Dems having to decide to support an independent named Anus.

Destroy King in the general election by painting him as selling his loyalty for money, power and prestige.

If his loyalty to a party is for sale, so is his loyalty to Maine.

Just please, give us at least one good break.
Give us a good Constitution loving Republican.

I agree with you. But Snowe occasionally did the right thing and a Dem will NEVER do the right thing. I would rather be 50% right than 100% wrong. Can a Constitutional Republican win in Maine? If so, then go for it. But I fear, like Massachusetts, only a RINO can take the seat in Maine. But I have never lived in Maine. I did live in Massachusetts at one time. Brown is as right-wing as you will get in MA.

I don’t know but he’s for Obama and was in 2008 as well.

He’s to the left of Snowe and will vote with the rats to control the Senate.

Ironically we need the official democrat to get as many votes as possible cause those votes will come directly out of King’s hide. What a world!
