Although I am a NH Republican. if I could, I would go to Ohio and vote for Amy Acton for Governor. What Vivek R and the Rs there have tried to do to her is outrageous, and beyond excuse.. Shame on them for creating the obscene ad and shame on her for allowing it to be aired

As a kid, I worked for John Reed and Bill Cohen. In college, I became a Democrat because of an ill-advised war , like Trump's adventure in Iran. One goes to college to learn new things. I learned to be a Democrat.

Bill Green--retired newscaster, and a great guy, in spite of supporting Susan Collins--said in a recent OpEd that I always vote Democrat. Not true, Bill! I grew up in a Maine Republican family; my grampa wouldn't say FDR's name, just called him "That man in the White House."

Familiar Washington figures have been spending time in Maine looking to boost @SenSusanCollins & @TroyJackson207. Who has star power and influence? Do endorsements matter?
We look into that on Ep. 103 of @InTheArenaMaine

Are you a nervous Democrat? This will calm you down. Or not. At least you’ll laugh.

Breaking News: Barack Obama forcefully criticized President Trump at a midterm rally, accusing him of historic “incompetence” in Washington. nyti.ms/3VUal6r

When asked for an example of when her opposition blocked a Trump priority, @SenSusanCollins cited an unsuccessful effort to block Pete Hegseth from becoming SECDEF. Our @InTheArenaMaine team ponders the process and what it means.

I didn’t realize until now that this isn’t even the first woman married to an incestuous pedophile to appear in a Ramaswamy tv ad!
Vernon Edwards “was convicted of gross sexual imposition in 2006 for molesting several of his nieces under the age of 13”

YOUR CHOICE, YOUR VOICE | We asked our viewers what issues they wanted to learn more about heading into the midterm election. One of those issues was taxes and tariffs. Here is where all three candidates for governor stand on taxes in Maine.

"I don't know your real name and it's not important to me so I'm just gonna call you Janet. Janet, win this tug of war and people will call you a champion for the rest of your fucking life."

No, they aren’t “always tough” for most people, who have an internal moral compass that tells them that weaponizing a child’s rape for political gain is disgusting. But if you’re a spineless opportunist like Vance who only cares about how many inches he can get to power…I’m sure they are “always tough.”
Negative ads abound in the senate race between @TroyJackson207 & @SenSusanCollins. Have those attacks gone too far?
We discuss that on Ep. 103 of @InTheArenaMaine

Alaskans don’t need any help voting for their preferred candidates, and the State of Alaska has already handled this by clearly distinguishing the candidates on this year’s ballot. The Department of Justice should never have filed this lawsuit.
