I'm increasingly confident that Angus King, the next Senator from ME, will caucus w/ the dems

Why? Repukes are going balls out to defeat him though it's nearly an impossible task. King, an ex-governor, is an independent and both Dill (D) and Summers (R) trail him by double digits.

The repukes are spending a lot of money, accusing King of all kinds of nefarious illegalities, and playing assorted repuke dirty tricks tp try and knock King out. If they thought they could woo him and convince him to caucus with them, I don't think they'd be investing this heavily in trying to defeat him. Talk about desperate.

Bill Nemitz: GOP fires more silly stuff at Angus King

By Bill Nemitz bnemitz@mainetoday.com

David Sorensen reminds me of the kid who murders both of his parents and then asks the judge for mercy because he's an orphan.


Sorensen, in case you don't know him yet, is the new communications director for the Maine Republican Party.

His primary job between now and Nov. 6 is to think up new and ingenious ways to knock heavily favored independent Angus King off stride in his battle with Republican Charlie Summers and Democrat Cynthia Dill to become Maine's next U.S. senator.

So what has Sorensen done lately?

is a real danger. Not positions that lend themselves to caucusing with the repubs.
