Maine Senate Race

Collins released her first ad. She’s not even in it.

Just a bunch of old (silent) B-roll of her with a voice over at the end.

Can you imagine them putting her on a debate stage?

All that video and drama over a little dock?

Planter should write a book called "My Struggle."

That should cinch it for him.

“Maine Kampf.”

You might as well translate it to "Jihadi" (جهادي).

My partner just asked, "What's so funny?"

On May 6, Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine, revealed that she’s had a condition called essential tremor throughout the duration of her nearly 30-year Senate career and that she takes medication for it.

“I have had it for the entire time that I have served in the United States Senate,” Collins, 73, told News Center Maine. “It has absolutely no impact on my ability to do my job or on how I feel each day.” Collins recently announced in a video that she is running for a sixth term, and online comments called attention to the shakiness in Collins’ hands, voice, and head.

Not an uncommon condition.

I occasionally get ads for clinical trails for essential tremor on Facebook. Got me thinking that maybe Facebook thinks I shake my phone a little too much.

You also yell "get off my lawn" while shaking the phone?

Probably smart positioning for Maine.
