No one has officially declared for the senate seat being vacated by Olympia Snowe, but I'm coming right out and endorsing Chellie Pingee, although I'm sure Rep. Mike Michaud would also be a good candidate. It's a nice problem to have a deep, progressive bench from which to choose.

(10,237 posts)...I'm inclined towards Chellie also. I'd like to see Mike Michaud serve another 2 years and then send paul lepage, AKA Governor go to hell, packing!
It seems that we have a deeper bench than they do.
PEACE!

(10,237 posts)I think he'd have more clout as a 7th termer in a likely majority than as a freshman Senator. As I said previously, I see him more as a potential Governor. He'd certainly be very strong against a very vulnerable paul "go to hell" lepage.
PEACE!
