1. oh god...NO

Leave it to that corporate loving Mills to be the spoiler in the upcoming senate fight in my state. My fervent wish is that Mills will just retire from government and go sit on a couple of those corporate boards she is so fond of. Either Platner or Jordan would be a more sensible voice in the senate like Angus King is. But Mills?.....god, no!l one term in and she'd be a collins doppelgänger.........."concerned" and bothered every time but not a very good representative for the majority of Mainers.

2. the more the merrier, I say

3. This would be another huge recruiting coup for Schumer. Mills can take Collins down.

While the peanut gallery whines, Schumer is busy stacking up wins, and creating the opportunity for an unlikely Democratic Senate majority in 2027.

4. She will turn 78 at the end of this year

An 80-year-old first-term Senator is the best we can do there?
