Democrat in every race, except for Maine. I cannot support Shenna Bellows because the two issues I disagree with my fellow Progressives on are her top two issues, and Susan Collins is pretty awesome for a Republican anyway. In Hawaii, I'm pulling for Brian Schatz.

What are the two issues, if you have to ask?
Drugs and NSA probably???
Correct. I'm a really weird progressive.

Maybe, but either way, saying she only focuses on the drugs and the NSA just isn't true. You can follow her campaign for five minutes and you'll realize her main issue is economic populism. She's much closer to Elizabeth Warren or Bernie Sanders than anyone else in the Senate, and I see a vote for Susan Collins as a vote for what is (mostly) failed Dubya-era policies (especially in foreign policy).

Dude, I will support her, don't worry, she's much more a Sawx democrat than a Sjoyce democrat, so that's a big improvement compared with the fake moderate.

But I still believe she's a HP. Praising Ron Paul? Ugh.

I know. That was more addressed to him than you.
It's a race I have been really split on until now, but I also think Collins is useful as a moderate liason to the Repubs.
