Both Maine Senators declined the White House's invitation to attend President Obama's event in their home state today, according to White House spokesman Bill Burton.
Burton said the Maine Republicans decided not to attend Obama's healthcare speech in Portland, Maine.
A spokeswoman for Snowe said the senator "had a full day of events already planned today long before we learned of the President's trip to Maine last Friday."
Meanwhile, Collins is overseas visiting U.S. Central Command in Qatar, and her office says it's not clear she was invited in the first place.
Of course, both Snowe and Collins opposed the healthcare legislation that Obama will be touting in his speech, so its understandable they wouldn't want to appear alongside him.

What the heck is Obama doing in Maine anyway?
I thought he was going to do a “hard pivot” to jobs, but all he talks about is HealthCare Reform, and that has been passed and signed by Obama. Obama is strange.

He got the vote...Why continue with the speeches...I don’t understand this...He’s not letting any of the past couple of weeks die down and that’s not to his advantage...Hmmm....
