Maine DUers: What's the difference between Snowe and King?

I know he will sit with the Democrats and I'm not trying to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I just don't know a lot about Angus King. What are the policy differences between King and Olympia Snowe?

I would not trust Collins as a democrat. Democrats should run Balducci against her. nt bluestate10 Nov 2012 #6

While I'm sure that Angus King will vex us from time to time, I believe that he will be a bit more willing to stand up to the teabaggers than olympia. Offhand I'd rather be saying goodbye to susan collins than olympia snowe

PEACE!

I assume the Republicans have some teabagger to run against her in a primary.

Who do the Democrats plan to run against her in the general?

If Susan was smart she would let out her inner Democrat and change parties right now.

...I've pretty much had John Balducci. He's a good man, but I think we have better candidates.

PEACE!
