7. Sorry all, but he did get his seat defeating an R in the 2nd district

He has been a terrible disappointment, but Bruce Poliquin was loathsome. I am glad Golden is not running again, and I really hope his rearranged district, now including me, will fend off the even more loathsome Paul Lepage.

The northern half of Maine is full of deplorables, sorry to say, so it's going to be a nail biter.
