1. Town Hall and invite Ms. Concern..........................

2. Dammit, having that 50% mark is super important, and now there's some other scandal about to drop?

WTF can't we have nice things?

[Fiendish Thingy]

5. What other scandal?

I haven’t heard anything- perhaps a whisper campaign like Bush’s attack on McCain claiming he had a baby with a black mistress?

[JoFerret]

8. We blew this

You just know the GOP has a whole arsenal on this guy - just waiting to roll it out closer to the election. What a disaster.

15. Who's "we"?

Because a lot of us were begging Maine not to nominate this guy.

10. Looks like another SA allegation -- there are a few threads floating now

9. You asked for examples lol

I present a mirror

14. Posting a poll proves I'm not

"...doing a very good job of hiding the fact they are rooting for him to lose." Really?

Passive aggressive isn't my thing.

11. Who is Jackson?

[MorbidButterflyTat]

13. Good question

Not sure why he's included in this poll. But it looks like he's in front!

[BannonsLiver]

7. Interesting timing with the Politico story.

[Ritabert]

12. Why is he running with these allegations? You'd think we could get a good candidate in Maine and retire Collins

How about Stephen King?
