It occurred to me that Golden (Maine-2)

[displacedvermoter]

Was the only Democrat to vote for the House CR, and now King took the lead on the cave in. I have to assume that the numbers of folks in rural Maine who depend on SNAP for survival are incredible, and both the Congressman and the Senator are well aware of this. Interesting that they seem to care about these poor people in their constituencies, while MAGA Congress people with similar or larger numbers of poor people in their states, care not a whit if their neighbors starve.

Lots of folks in deep woods Maine are now suffering from the results of the election of their cult leader. Once again they have to rely on Democrats to bail them out of this current mess, but come next year and they have no health insurance, many of these same folk will figure out a way to blame Obama, and will vote for whomever runs against Golden.

Funny thing is Golden will probably find a way to blame Obama, and every other Democrat, cause that is how he has determined he has to roll.

1. Golden just announced he's not running for reelection though

6. Hadn't seen that

Surprising, he seemed pretty comfortable as a moderate Democrat, telling all the other Democrats how he had the true pulse of the nation in Maine 2.

2. I was wondering--why can't Platner run for the 2nd dist (if he'd be interested) , and let Mills Beat Collins

for the senate? If it could work-out like that , it could solve 2 problems.

3. Not sure how Golden would take it

4. There are better candidates than either Mills or Platner

Jordan Wood, Katie Porter’s former chief of staff, is also running.

The primary is eight months away- there is absolutely no urgency or requirement to lock into choosing between Mills or Platner.

7. Also...

Ranked choice voting, changes things in the voting activities.

5. Golden is a DINO.

No more begging snail mails from 3000 miles away.

8. He announced...

This weekend, that he's not running for reelection. I'm glad to hear it.
