You win by painting Collins as a career politician and a Washington insider, there's clips of her promising to run for two terms and supporting term limits . You do this by running someone like Gideon whose only been in politics for a short time and has never been in Washington.

I agree with the first part of this post, but I really don't think Gideon would be the most electable candidate to take down Collins. She represents a State House district in coastal Maine that is far to the left of the state, and I doubt she would be able to overcome Collins' advantage in Northern Maine. Someone from the ME-02 area would be more ideal.

Not really big on Gideon. She has the profile of someone who could lose easily to Collins - from the liberal coastal region without much appeal to the rest of the state. Someone from the ME-02 area would be better.

Troy Jackson would have a better chance at beating Collins IMO.

Collins is not going to get a landslide victory as in past races, but it's clear that she still has some of her crossover appeal remaining. Plus she is helped out by the trends of Maine. I think this race starts out as Lean R.

I think it's still a bit early to peg the race as a tossup.

^Not surprising. All the talk about her retiring seemed like wishful thinking on the part of Democrats.

There has been very little head-to-head polling of Collins vs. Gideon (and the few recent ones we've had show a close race), so I would hesitate to call this Lean D yet. It should also be noted that in the past much of Collins' disapproval in past polling came from conservative Republicans who would ultimately vote for her.

With that said, the trajectory of the race is clearly not favorable to Collins and it should be much more competitive than some here were initially expecting.
