Stale cracker.

Oh crap I did not know that lol, she half Indian half white like me, nice, she is still going to lose to Collins badly even if she gets the nom.

[DaWN]

Well an actual candidate is nice, and one the jury is out on rather than someone we know will be crap isn't too awful either. I see this as an absolute win.

Still yearning for Troy Jackson. So far the only dem I would vote for over ff Collins.

Collins isnt a FF she voted for Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch,  both of them are Scalias

Even ff's do bad things sometimes, but I appreciate her lean cuisine moderate TM image.

So you loathe Democrats who voted for Hogan, Baker, or Scott, but you’d vote for Collins in 2020? Makes sense.

Anyway, Gideon would definitely be a substantial underdog in this race and would need a very large D wave to beat Collins. Somewhere between Lean and Likely R.

Balderson got the coveted Brad Wenstrup endorsement, I'm tempted to move this to Balderson by 8 beacuse of this, but I'll hold off for now.

I've been known to troll around a time or two sometimes 😏

Lean R, but Collins is overrated; IIRC her approval rating is in the mid-40s.

[DrScholl]

Times up, Susan.

[free my dawg]

yeah no give me Sweet

[Blackacre]

Gideon seems like a solid recruit, and Collins's popularity has been going down recently. This race is probably Tossup (I'd say Tilt R but I don't believe in tilts this far out)

[Gracile]

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

[smoltchanov]

It will be more interesting race, then usual, of course. But - still lean R at least.

[Free Bird]

Lean R, but Collins is overrated; IIRC her approval rating is in the mid-40s.

But the one poll taken (after the Kavanaugh debacle mind you) also has her beating Gideon by 21. Her approval's definitely recovered a fair bit. I'll have it as Likely R for now barring major shifts.

Sununu, a moderate, had positive ratings going into 2018, and Molly Kelly knock his lead down  from 15 to 7. Believe me, IA, ME, AZ, CO, NC and GA are the Democrats keys to Senate. When Dems lead on generic ballot by 12. Collins will lose.

...because no one knew who Gideon was. Also her approvals have continued to crater, not recover.

Actually, a poll from late last month had her job approval at 41-42 disapprove (i.e. -1%).  I'm starting it at Lean R, but much closer to Tilt R than Likely R.  I suspect Collins will end up losing though.

Betsy Sweet (D) is running

https://www.pressherald.com/2019/06/13/betsy-sweet-announces-election-challenge-to-collins-in-2020/

I wonder if mainieac will volunteer for her

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Polls in Senate are meaningless now, the Senate is in play, due McConnell and his graveyard of legislation

[Continential]

What is this statement in Maine supposed to mean?
“Meanwhile, lobbyist Betsy Sweet is a radical left-wing activist committed to making the loony policy dreams of Nancy Pelosi a reality,” the committee said in a prepared statement.

[Brittain33]

Reminder is that Collins has a low approval rating because she runs low among republicans. All of those Republicans who disapprove of her will vote for her. And she has 31% approval among Dems... ought to be <10 for her to lose.
