4. We all will, as we should here....

And I might say that as we move forward we are going to need more populist true working class candidates to win because that's where voters are moving. And if you have more of "your neighbor" type candidates there's likely to be a little more garbage in their pasts. Now saying that I will also say, the types and frequencies of Platners' past are about at my limit personally. I take ANY kind of mistreatment of PARTNERS by ANYONE, be it physical or mental, very seriously. Can people change? Yes with a lot of work. That evidence of the work has to be there for me in order to accept. I believe Platner has met that in my eyes.

One more thing. Maines choice by Maine D's IS there choice. But when it comes to a states SENATOR I do believe that D's nationally have some right to look, see and say as a sitting SENATOR has a big influence on all of us, as we all have learned all to well.
