“The Platner campaign has reached out to the party to try and understand what this process would look like.  At no point has the campaign tried to “put its finger on the scale.”  Over 150,000 Mainers voted for this movement and over 15,000 Mainers volunteered their time and energy to it.  While Graham wouldn’t want to be a part of the process, he would want to make sure the voters and volunteers make this decision — not the political establishment.  — from a Spokesperson for the Platner Campaign.

“Incidentally, this blogger has reached out to the Maine Democratic Party in Augusta for a comment – in a telephone call today.  So far, it has ignored this request.  Must be nice people up there in Augusta.  Nice people to stay away from and avoid.”
