There're still unknowns polls may have not represented, tho as you know polls show big leads for Platner. It may stay that way, or may be some groups less polled til now cd shift the # 's
My impression is most everyone's expectng some uncertainty, even Plat campgn, but I'm not a pro like Amy Fried

Weird thing to say.

Sure! As long people clap when you talk, it will be fine.

I believe in an airspace of grace and forgiveness.

disinfo

Pure attack by Platner camp to associate Mills w/ Fetterm
Resembles a Tr strategy: weaken accusation by some that Platner is like Fetterm (bc same operative as managemnt)

Platner has repeat'ly accused M of things that his camp's actually doing. It's a a Tr strategy to weaken a truth abt Tr

Shabby

"They looked at the polls not me" assumes "they" are each an independent thinker. Rather than that some were put into action to sway opinions like yours.

His campaign team has from the start been very skilled at manufacturing hype, then reinforcing it. Hype sells products. It can also rapidly deflate if there's a cause.

Thanks, I misread fabric.
Hope it's OK w you to muse.

Considering legislation*is* the job, incl reading what's sent by diff sources
You wd I hope expect Platner if elected to read what you/ yr group/yr lawyer might send him before voting on a bill that affects you.
You're way over-projecting in order to attack, which does Platner no favor

He can't stop performing. (My read) He can't control his need to control the stage
When W starts to speak, he initiates putting arm around her & pulling (off balance) the 3 of them yet closer for photo op
& Embracing wife in Warren's background
Warren's the pro; he cd trust her to initiate photo ops

Yes, they're terrible. Like other co's, doubtless telling locals (desperate for work bc of mill closures) untrue job stats

We've all seen it
Hence pressure on Mills to respect, by taking time to read, whatever locals etc send her. That's her job.

None of that = the promise you mentioned.

Where did you read her 'promise to veto' it?

Without a source, seeming disinformation from Platner influencers reflects badly on him instead of supporting him.

Where did you see that, and when?

'Promised to veto' sounds odd to me. In my awareness it's normally either "hasn't decided yet " or decided. (Or 'hasn't reached a gov's desk yet' ... variations like that.)

Can you give the name of your source (news publication)?
Thanks

Her bare feet and what seem like laquered geta (just guessing 'geta' as a close term) seem unusual for that kimono/obi type as well.
Though perhaps a fashion photo choice?
(Of course I'm way out of date wrt bare feet with kimono style.)

Might be a fake? Absence of tabi, for one example.

Vibes don't apply either way.

Varies by person but most have huge concerns abt nat'l situation AND same time lack of trust in whoever's backing Platner. Mostly hiding themselves is a tell
AND sense Platner has problems kept hidden
+ What he says abt his funding differs from his filings
+ Dead silence fr all but 2 ppl in his past

No,"they" believe there's huge problems. Many blieve Platner's speakng doesn't =ability to do that job, esp w relatd work records missing & silences
Some see his recruiting/funding/mangmnt by diff type establishment politicl operatvs using GOP's negative campgn tactics as disguisd attack or a plant

What are the 'buried' findings? Which Ds "examined/buried them"?
The reality show personality got votes FOR his fake ID
Our 3 primary cand's did not cause his win

Warren has NOT explained why she's now campaigning
agnst 3 other Ds MEers also support

Corporate Dem applies to Platner; he lies abt it

Senator Warren: 1000's of us were outraged by 2008 bank bailout & applauded yr Senate speeches, proud of you
That doesn't make us suited to be Senator
100's of us in ME supported yr 2015-6 primary bid
Hundreds of us choose the other 3 Dem candid's in our Sen primary
Why are you opposing us today?

Liberals also paid his salary, health care, retirement fund, perks as part of the life and security he's chosen and enjoys. Responsibility for his misery is elsewhere.

Why's Warren throwing her weight against the 3 other D candidates supported by Mainers in our democratic election for our primary?
Endorsing him's one thing, her choice.
But here she's opposing Mainers who want a different candidate for valid reasons. OUR choice
Rally for him if he wins the primary

Warren hasn't said why she opposes the significnt % of Mainers who support our governor's real record as fighter & feminist who enacted progressive legislation & change here.
Warren's for Platner
But this is the act of a person who's actively opposing our other Den candidates, w no explanation to us

Platner wrt Mills "It is about how old your ideas are"
Doesn't name the ideas, just "old" "establshmnt" as attack

Platner's ideas
Women responsible for rape if drunk
30's-40's Nazi imagery is OK
Gays are usable punchlines, insults
Uneven wars are interesting, fun
War crimes are combat dominance

Platner wrt Mills "It is about how old your ideas are"
Never names ideas, only uses "old"/"establshmnt" to attack

Platner Ideas That Are Old
Women's responsiblty for rape
30's-40's Nazi images
Gay people as punchlines/insults
Colonial wars as interesting/fun
War crimes as standard/normal dominance

"I said before Oct. 7 was a horrific event and...Gaza is also horrific and unnecessary and cruel. Bombing civilian facilities is a violation of intl law and leaving children starving in the streets is inhumane and violation of int law."

Platner's dishonest to imply Mills does not call Gaza horrific
