Maine Senate Race

Planter should write a book called "My Struggle."

That should cinch it for him.

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?

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?

[jon-nyc]

Probably smart positioning for Maine.
