Susan , it was the video, Rice will not run as she will embarrass herself.


Susan Rice, Obama's natl security advisor should have whispered in Obama's ear that the validity of his academic theory of no guns, no gun violence, falls apart not only in Maine but VT and NH and other states as well.


Rice might get a few Boston to Portland commuters to vote for her along with some snowbirds after they cast votes in Florida. As they say, "just because your cat has kittens in the oven, it don t make em biscuits".


Rice is an outsider to Maine culture and has no platform Mainer's would endorse. How does rice feel about spring black bear season, the moose hunt, tree growth program, Quimby and open carry?


Maine is not a one trick pony as far as issues and elections go. Rice has shown to be a shallow political hack despite her education.

No, that's not how it worked. If she voted no the money was going to be refunded to the donors, not given to Collins.

IIRC, she has been talking about running for governor for some time.

But raising an issue sure got him off this senate judiciary committee. Franken's absence made Collin's job easier.

My experience with Mainers in my visit last year showed me that many are irritated beyond measure that the Portland south on the seaboard group doesn't represent how they want Maine to be governed. Tons of complaints about the liberals moving in wrecking their state.

Her speech on the floor was well laid out and thoughtful. Too bad some of her constituents want to go the way of mob rule rather than the rule of law. Glad she is smarter and more reasonable than they.

Maybe you should blame Franken for being a pervert instead of trying to accuse Justice Kavanaugh of something he didn't do. Franken never denied it, there was solid evidence and his accuser had people back up her story. Ford had nothing but Democrat money in her pocket and crooked leftist leading her the entire time.

Would be interesting to see her states new funding status. **** her! She sounded like an idiot with all that gushing over Brat "pickled liver" Kavanaugh. She has always been a Bush girl so what more can be expected?

In the photo was Franken with his hands on or near her breast. There is another pair of hands in the frame, plus the photographer. Looks like a bad attempt ay being funny to me. If he was assaulting her, strange he would do it in front of that many other people. The USO performer accuser was also a Republican operative. Who paid her? That ol knife cuts both ways.

By the time that senator from NY and her coven got through with him, I'm not surprised he just gave up. Just like they got rid of Garrison Keillor.

Not to many interviews start out with that tenor eh?
I think “latitude” might be a stern voice and a somber tone.

It’s not guzzling water, screeching about beer, and sounding like an InfoWars guest correspondent.
