LePage won in midterms and not for a federal office. If Collins retires then Republicans have little chance of holding the seat. No one is as good as lying about being a moderate as she is and that's what Republicans will need to hold the seat.

The ultimate Republican coup would be to have Collins retire and Snowe run for her seat. That would be the only guaranteed win for McConnell.

LePage won twice because of a third party candidate. Maine GOP has a weak bench. And Maine being a swing state is a stretch. May be trending GOP a little bit but hasn't voted for a GOP presidential candidate since 1988.

I'm very concerned.
Don't understand your concern.
Concerned that Democratic takeover of this seat would be reduced with another Republican on the ticket?
I'd be concerned that this would flip to the Dems, especially with IRV.

If she runs, she'll win. Now that the bizarre Kavanaugh-the-serial-gang-rapist hysteria has died down, she looks pretty good. If she doesn't run, the Democrats would likely have a slight edge, but I'd expect a tight race regardless. Trump actually has a pretty good chance of carrying Maine (3/4 EVs, anyway).

I hardly think her vote for Kavanaugh is going away. Besides that she has demonstrated that she's not really a moderate and that has shown in her declining approval.

Do I ad David Gibson in a Primary for the Maine Green Independent Party or do I just add him here?
If there's little to no chance of a primary challenger you can add him here. Unless Maine reports vote totals for uncontested races.

And then there's the anti-Collins fund raised during the Kavanaugh thing which I think is around $4 mil.

Good thing she won't be running against generic Democrat.
However, I have a strong feeling Collins won't run for reelection. The polls posted today in R Primary show she isn't that popular among Maine Republican voters either in head to head match-ups.

I really feel that Collins is being unfairly attacked. Maine isn't a massively blue state, and her ideology score is almost exactly down the middle. In fact, Govtrack has her at 0.54 and Maine's other senator, Independent Angus King, is at 0.53. Additionally, Collins is to the left of several Senate Democrats.
There have been a few high-profile votes lately where she sided with Republicans, but her overall record is very moderate and appropriate for a Republican in a purple state. It's sloppy and lazy to pinpoint a single vote and call her a faux moderate.

Bah. She only sides with Democrats when they would have won even without her vote.
Susan Collins isn't a moderate, she only plays one on TV.

Back in the early 2000s, Collins may have been to the left of a couple of Democrats and (Nelson, Breaux, maybe Landrieu), but since 2009 she's given up any maverick card she may have had and fallen in line every time leadership has called.

You could have made a case for Olympia Snowe being a moderate, but Collins was always a stealth conservative.
