Some Maine Polling [View all]

Now I know this is the New York Times which, should we disagree with its findings, we can discount as something other than the journal of record.

But it seems to me that the top line is Platner +66% (76% Platner to 10% Mills).

That is a spicy meatball.

It is almost like the citizens of Maine are making clear what they want.

You can look to the general election head to heads and see that Platner outperforms Mills.

But you knew all this already... otherwise, why'd you be reading my thread?

So, to be clear, you are applying a purity test. mr715 Monday #9

Yea, maybe some people don't want another Fetterman. LisaL Monday #10

Yes because it is irrational and myopic mr715 Monday #12

Fetterman went on Fox news to bush other democrats over Platner. LisaL Monday #17

She has expressed concern. mr715 Monday #18

Concern is her middle name. LisaL Monday #19

Which is funny, because Fetterman is pretty gross himself. mr715 Monday #20

Fetterman''s stroke probably had some influence on his behavioral changes. He still adds to Democrats'' tblue37 Monday #37

Great questions. A video posted yesterday showed Platner talking to a Trump voter and saying he understands Nixie Monday #14

Imagine... a candidate speaking to an undecided voter. mr715 Monday #15
