Maine Sen. Susan Collins says she is dismayed by the early start and extreme negativity of the campaign against her, even though she has not decided whether to seek re-election.
"Campaigns start earlier and earlier and the amount of distortion and outright lies is just extraordinary," she says.
Collins says Democrats have raised millions of dollars in their effort to unseat her, and she also expects to face a primary challenge from a candidate on the right. She says both groups are already distorting her record, but she says any attempt to use the abortion issue against her will fail.
"I'm being targeted by national and some state Democrats as their number one target, despite the fact that there is no one in the United States Senate that works more often across the aisle than I do," she says.

On a more serious - and awesome - side, this tells me that she's getting some bad vibes already in terms of her viability for reelection. Superb!!!! Go, Sara Gideon, go!!

(87,868 posts)You have made it perfectly clear what you stand for. It is not for the Constitution, women's rights or affordable healthcare for all. You believe in tax cuts for the rich Americans and not the middle class. You support a pResident that stated in no uncertain terms that he assaults women on a whim, because he can.
Sue? Fact is you are an insult to women and all Americans. Fugg off Sue.

(4,737 posts)The most put-upon person ever. Doesn't ANYONE like her melodramatic little performances? The ones where she pretends to have a conscience, then votes for whatever vile poison her party has served up?
