I genuinely have no idea what is going on in that race, but DU seems pretty out of sync with whatever Maine Democrats are thinking.

I'm still of the mind that a near 80 year old running for a first term was a completely wild decision, and I'd not be surprised to find that's weighing heavily on many voters' decision making.
