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.

Is that money controlled by a PAC? Or some other entity? How will that fund be distributed?

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.

@RP & PA Indy
I'm just now seeing this, but you apparently aren't looking at any metric for ideology. I suggest either Govtrack or DW Nominate.
Govtrack's 2019 report card has her to the left of four Senate Democrats and barely to the right of Maine's other senator, Angus King.

Not ideal when an internal poll had you up one in April, and the nation has trended only increasingly towards Democrats.

I think so. During his presidency or up to 2010, I’d say no. But because Bush is Trump-skeptic at best, he’s been out of office for over a decade and the last name of the candidates isn’t Bush, I think it’s noteworthy.

I'm not surprised by it. Bush is still a Republican. He's not anti-moderate Republican, he's anti-Trump. If he decides to endorse Trump after all, that will be notable.
