I generally liked what Graham Platner, the politician, was saying and doing. Unfortunately, the non-politician parts were finally too much. Basically, Graham Platner is accused of rape, and that was a line voters in Maine could not cross.

Personally, I wasn’t following that closely to begin with, but I did see that he won the primary. I’m in Illinois, not Maine, and they really seemed to want the guy. For me, the Nazi tattoo was a red flag, but people make dumb decisions.

Well, they picked him, and now they have this alleged rape charge, which has blown the whole thing up. Plantner has dropped out, and Maine’s Democrats will replace him in the general election. I’ll be interested to see what the decision is there, but mostly I just want Susan Collins defeated.
