ME-Emerson: Gideon +6

[Calthrina950]

The Conehad Barrett gambit may not have paid off as much as Collins hoped.

I'm not sure if this is deliberate or not, but I said the exact same thing several weeks ago. Voters haven't forgotten about Kavanaugh, the tax cuts, or impeachment-all of the issues which soured them on Collins to begin with.

I thought you meant the "Conehad" nickname at first. But I think it's pretty obvious that Collins has been defined by her Kavanaugh vote more than anything this election cycle, and voting against Barrett isn't going to absolve her of making that choice back in 2018. With her political career on the line more than ever, it just comes across as cynical, and Maine voters are taking note of that.

I was referring to the "Conehad" nickname, but I agree with your points otherwise.
