Just for the record, Mark Pryor was running neck 'n' neck with Tom Cotton in the summer of 2014.
Now, of course Maine isn't as heavily Democratic as Arkansas is Republican. But then again nobody is saying that Collins will lose by 17 points.

[Landslide Lyndon]

I don't get it. Are you criticizing Gideon for not running an ad about something that happened 12 hours ago?

[Landslide Lyndon]

Now Gideon takes 4 more million that have been earmarked for this race.

[Landslide Lyndon]

LOL at these Republican senators who bitch and whine about their Democratic opponents raising insane amounts of money.

[Landslide Lyndon]

The HRC has endorsed Gideon, after having supported Collins for reelection several times in the past:

Good. Enough with this bipartisan BS.

Your free education resource about Sara Gideon's accomplishments.

LOL

Who will tell them?

[Landslide Lyndon]

Collins' campaign is out with a GREAT ad for Sarah Gideon.

I find the argument that Collins is the favorite because of her past landslides unconvincing.
Mark Pryor won a second term unopposed in 2008 and just six years later he lost by 20. Maine isn't Arkansas but then again a loss is a loss, whether by 1, 5, or 10 points.

But you’re forgetting that Democrats won every statewide race in Arkansas in 2006, a year similar to ‘08. And that they lost every statewide race in 2014. The thing is, Pryor lost because his state changed. And there’s nothing he could do about it.

Susan Collins, on the other hand, defied a blue wave to win by 23 points. Maine hasn’t become significantly more Democratic/less Republican since 2014/2016, so I think your counter argument is... unconvincing.

We might as well be talking about a different world comparing 2008 and 2020. Back then ticket-splitting was still prevalent in many states. Not it's almost dead. If Biden wins Maine by double digits then I wouldn't bet my rent money that there will be little more than a handful of Biden-Collins voters.

While I think Collins is the underdog here, there's no way Biden wins Maine by double digits.

That's what the few polls we had show.

Goddamn that dastardly Jew Schumer having the gall to want to become majority leader.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Collins has really become an SNL caricature.

Collins literally couldn't even answer about supporting Trump or not. How is that good for Collins?

Collins was prepared for it, didn't miss a beat, and said Mainers didn't need her advice on who to vote for for president. Whether you agree or not (and she was clearly dodging), most people in the middle who are making up their minds would see that as a reasonable answer. Later in the debate, Collins asked Gideon if she would have supported Justice Roberts, and Gideon literally stumbled and looked like a blubbering mess. It wasn't a good look.

That's a lame answer. People don't expect politicians to dictate to them who to vote but this is about where SHE stands. Trump is the incumbent president and refusing to say whether you support or oppose his reelection is unacceptable for a member of the US senate.

Charlie Baker and Larry Hogan are endorsing Collins.

And not a single f**k was given.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Collins has become the caricature of a moderate hero and the saddest/funniest thing is that she doesn't understand it.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Susan does not seem to be aware that Biden is in position to win Maine by 15 points

She is partying like it's 2008.

Tbf even in 2008 Obama still won ME by double digits, although back then she was an actual moderate and much more liked.

That was my point.

[Landslide Lyndon]

LOL, what an entitled, racist piece of sh**t.

I guess this is a somewhat more important "endorsement".

The filibuster isn't coming back and Gideon knows. This is just a clumsy attempt to appear stately in comparison with "partisan hack" Collins.

[Landslide Lyndon]

A reminder that Collins accused her Indian-American opponent of not being a "real" Mainer.
