I just got an email from the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee passing on the good news that Democrats in Maine flipped a State House seat from red to blue in last night’s special election.
I’m happy to announce that Democrat Deane Jones won a special election for a vacancy in the Maine House yesterday. This was a pickup for Democrats. It brings our majority to 89-59 with 2 independents.
But what really need are Maine state senators, DLCC website says we have 18-17 majority, too close for my tastes.
Of course Maine could use new U.S. Senators as well, specifically Collins. I got no beef with Snowe as of this point in history.
