Unfortunate. Bellows is a woman of the people.

Unfortunate. Bellows is a woman of the people.

I don't know, she doesn't fit well with the Maine Moderate style, she'd be better off running for Governor in Vermont or challenging Steve Israel, y'know, if she was from there.

I agree, an anti-gay marriage, anti-marijuana, pro-Iraq War, pro-PATRIOT Act, pro-NSA senator represents Maine perfectly

I'm not saying Susan is a perfect Senator or anything (I'd prefer Snowe), but Maine is weird, and it likes its Elected officials (Well, the Republicans mainly) Moderate, and they really like Independents, which Bellows doesn't really draw in all that well.

Not really. Susan Collins leans socially conservative. Shenna Bellows is very socially liberal, and even independents like Angus King are too. We don't need moderates to win in Maine.
