He says it's totally not true. She says it's not only true, but that she told a bunch of people all along about it.

So why now? I'm surprised that anyone just totally believes this conveniently last minute story put out by the right wing owned and managed media monopoly without giving it a serious once-over. There are billions of dollars running in this election, and the democrats aren't the ones with the billions.

But boy are they determined to let Susan Collins have her seat back.
