ME Sen I can't really be Collins it yet

[DaleCooper]

They probably aren't polling it because Maine is pretty much as safe a state for Biden as the rest of New England and pollsters are more concerned about the presidential race. It's too bad because ME-02 looks competitive on the presidential level and it'd be nice to know where the Senate election stands.

If it is safe Biden and a double digit win, Collins ain’t pulling a rabbit out of the hat. No matter what the polls say.

Have to agree. The only fundamental working in her favor is incumbency which means less and less every day. In 2018, literally every incumbent in a competative underperformed their polls (except for Tester), so I don't see how she's suddenly going to miraculously outperform polls by 7%.

We haven't had a poll from Maine for a while.

I'd like to see a new poll after Collins votes NO on ACB confirmation.
That vote should help her a lot.

I agree, the lack of polling frustrates me.

I think her voting no one ACB is too little too late; most people have already made up their minds about her, and frankly, she hasn't been in the spotlight as much on this as she was for Kavanaugh and Impeachment and likely wont be unless she does a strongly worded descent or is the deciding, and even then, she risks turning off Trump Rs if she's not careful who may just not rank her. Donnelly, McCatskill, and Heitkamp all tried to be Mr. Nice Guys, using their votes with the Presidents in ads during 2018, and that didn't work out so well for them.

Congratulations to re-elected Senator Susan Collins!

On Barrett's nomination to the Supreme Court, yes. But it was clearly a political move. Had she been the critical vote for this, like she was for Kavanaugh's confirmation, she would have voted in the affirmative. McConnell knew that her vote was not needed this time, and this is meant as a last ploy to save her Senate seat.

Wait for it. I didn't notice it at first either. Clever tweet.

Oh I misread that lol.

People are smarter than this. They know Collins only voted no bc the Rs already had the votes. Her vote was useless either way.

Senator Morrisey agrees that people are smarter than this.

(And ftr, I don’t think that this will be the reason if she wins reelection.)

And Manchin joined every other Democrat in voting against Barrett. Ironically enough, that means he has now voted the same way as Collins on all three of Trump's Supreme Court appointees. And Barrett has become the first Supreme Court Justice nominated during her nearly 24 years in the Senate that Collins has voted against.

Gideon blatantly lying like this is distasteful, I'd rather she didn't. But Collins and the Republicans totally deserve it. Hopefully Maine Senate isn't super close so this lie doesn't prove decisive.

Maine voters don't like liars.

Will be humorous a week from today.

In Maine? yes. In WV? no.

Oh I misread the tweet. Yeah, Gideon's tweet is fine and a good move.

What do you guys think the final margin will be?

[Grumpier Than Thou]

Let's be honest, Collins would've voted yes if it would've put them at 50. She voted nay because she wants to pretend she's bipartisan.

McConnell knew he could lose 1 or maybe 2 with his majority. Collins is the smart choice to get that. Though, I'm surprised Gardener wasn't the other vote. I guess he's given up and wants the best lobbying gig in the city
