Platner has since deleted the post, but this guy is just one giant walking red flag. If you are in Maine, please vote for Janet Mills.

(55 posts)It seems that Mainers prefer Platner, whether national democrats approve or not
All politics is local, right?
Mills needs more rhetorical energy to break through the log jam ... and that's in her court
If she doesn't, she'll be gone after the primaries
Realities ...

(10,218 posts)wont beat Collins in an election. Platner is no Nazi and people who keep saying that are out of line. Platner would give Collins fits in an election in that will get far more support in its second district which is northern Maine. Collins will lose the first district no matter who runs against her. I dont think Mills has enough votes to beat her throughout the state. A PAC is running an ad nonstop with Mills saying I appreciate all she does coming out of Mills mouth. Platner on the other hand is blasting Collins in his ads which are not PAC ads. Mills is living now on PAC ads. Taking down Collins is all that matters.
