(1,336 posts)They met at Stanford. He's an ABC TV producer. It would be nice to have someone smart, honest and well-spoken as a Maine Senator. Cannot STAND to listen to Collins -- I think perhaps she actually has a speech impediment, which is why she speaks to slowly and pronounces every damn syllable.....

(2,338 posts)Spasmodic dysphonia, also known as laryngeal dystonia, is a disorder in which the muscles that generate a person's voice go into periods of spasm. This results in breaks or interruptions in the voice, often every few sentences, which can make a person difficult to understand.

Plus, Collins' current opponent just raised a shit-load of money.

(16,420 posts)Collins has not named opponent. This could be her war chest for the asking.

(31,261 posts)The Doctor is the first democrat to declare. I personally like State Rep Jared Golden, especially if he unseats Poloquin for Maine's US House 2nd district seat. His house seat will come out of cycle at the right time and he would be known statewide. In addition, he is a Marine Vet who actually was an aid to Collins (so he would know her bad points).

(12,448 posts)I hope she does decide to run. She'd be perfect. And she'd humiliate Collins, which would be beautiful.

So she lied from the beginning.
