We're not doing this because of the allegations; we're doing this because of the structures being taken away from us by those in power. Mmkay. The deadline for Platner to drop out is July 13, next Monday. Democrats then have two weeks to name a candidate to take his place. Maine Democrats have called a convention to select his replacement. Democrats are hoping to finally unseat the perpetually concerned five-term Republican Senator Susan Collins.read more
