(1,405 posts)As I replied to another DU,
Most of my relatives live or lived in Maine. Only 2 are MAGAs, the rest were democrats, except one aunt who voted for Nixon and Reagan.
One cousin in particular is very politically active. I knew nothing about this candidate, and she explained the dynamic and details
about the race to me: Mills was essentially out of the race, leaving Platner. The two examples I posted about the lobstermen and the
Nazi tattoo were the most concerning to her and her circle of friends. Its not a black-white situation. Like all of us, he has a past.
Next time, I will canvas the city of Saco and Biddeford so my experience isn't simply anecdotal.
Platner is going to attract criticism for legitimate reasons. The level of scrutiny will be the issue regarding fairness in coverage.
