I think some folks (mostly everyone) are overlooking the big picture here. How many times do we allow the democrat party to overrule the will of the voters? They chose this guy. They voted for him overwhelmingly. Yet, the powers that be just decide to throw him under the bus and say, "Fuck the voters, who cares what they want? We're going to put in who WE want." They are going to put in someone who received zero votes. Pretty much the same thing happened with Biden - Harris. I see this becoming a pattern.

Talk about your "threat to democracy".

One of his accusers, a woman who claims he raped her, didn't go public with it because she agrees with his lefty politics. Is there anything crazier than that?

"Let the People choose"

They chose in the Democrat primary, the dude beat the crap out of Janet Mills and David Costello. The People want this piece of shit and they should get this piece of shit.

Democracy dies in the democrat party. Now they are free to appoint the communist of their choice?

Now he needs to slip into obscurity by changing his name to Herr Tag Napalm. (anagram of Graham Platner)

A clean shave and they'll never figure it out.

As long as he keeps his shirt on. And doesn't speak. Or rape anyone.

Patrick Dempsey was being advertised as a new candidate.

He has name and face recognition, but whether he would have any meaningful way of serving would be the question.

He has declined after issuing a statement:

----
And in his piece, Dempsey mentioned that he gave weight to the decision and truly considered the career switch. “I gave it real thought,” he wrote. “Not because I was looking for a new career, but because I asked myself an honest question: Could I make a meaningful difference? That question led me to another one I think matters even more. What kind of leadership are we really looking for?”

However, the Memory of a Killer star ultimately disappointed hopeful fans who had been wanting to see him enter the race.

“After a lot of thought, I realized the answer is no. Not because public service isn’t honorable — it absolutely is. But because I believe I can contribute more effectively through the life I’ve already built,” wrote Dempsey.

Dempsey reflected on whether he could “make a meaningful difference” in Congress but concluded the answer was no. Instead, he believes his work through the Dempsey Center, which provides free support services to cancer patients and their families, allows him to serve people more effectively.

While declining to run, Dempsey also outlined the qualities he hopes to see in Maine’s next Democratic Senate candidate. He called for a leader who leads with empathy and integrity, listens before speaking and works across party lines, focuses on service over power, puts people before party, and tells the truth.

Dempsey ended by making it clear he is not running for office, saying he believes he can help people more by continuing his work with the Dempsey Center than by serving in Congress.

Up next, meet "Troy". He's a Mainer, a logger, a commie slug.

I hear he's available, ladies! Or whoever.

Sounds like they've found the perfect replacement.
He has less to learn about how to be a Democrat Congressman.

So much for the process......

The good news is that the seat the R's hold in Maine that is up this fall is occupied by Collins, who is more-or-less a Democrat anyway.

Exactly! The past year or two, it seems like mortgage fraud is SOP for Democrats - Letitia James, Marilyn Mosby, Shitferbrains Shiff, Lisa Cook (fed reserve governor), etc.

He should've taken my advice.

Maine Dems Will Pick Platner Replacement At Rushed Convention This Month

After their nominee for the 2026 Maine Senate race dropped out on Friday in the wake of sex assault allegations, Democrats will pick his successor at a convention on July 25th, the state party chair announced Friday afternoon. That's just two days before the deadline for making the change and securing a new nominees' place on the general election ballot. It's a tall order for one of the smallest state party organizations in the country, and Democrats haunted by the rushed 2024 insertion of deeply-flawed candidate Kamala Harris into Joe Biden's nominee slot are uneasy -- all the more so given how tight the race for Senate control could be.

The crisis springs from previous nominee Graham Platner's withdrawal from the contest on Friday. He won the June 9th primary, but was done in by a Politico report in which a former girlfriend claimed a drunk Platner spontaneously showed up at her house and sexually assaulted her. Democrats who were already uneasy about Platner's profile -- which includes a history of philanderous sexts sent to multiple women, old Reddit posts self-identifying as a "communist," other posts calling cops "bastards," and a Nazi tattoo (though not a particularly obvious one). Setting aside the new rape allegation, all those black marks on his resume were public information before the primary election.

“The voters of Maine, the Democratic primary voters of Maine, owe the rest of Mainers an apology.”

The new Democratic nominee will take on five-term Republican Susan Collins, a shaky-voiced 73-year-old who's considered the GOP's most vulnerable incumbent. The Cook Political Report says the state's Senate race is one of four toss-ups this fall, along with the contests in Ohio, Michigan and Alaska. To wrest control of the Senate from the GOP, Democrats must flip four seats.

Held on the last Saturday of this month, the convention will comprise a whopping 601 delegates, 101 of whom will be members of the Democratic State Committee -- who are elected by voters -- and 500 delegates appointed by Maine's 16 counties. The proceedings will take place at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor. "Voting will be conducted in rounds until one candidate reaches a majority," the party explained in an FAQ. "The five candidates receiving the highest number of votes in the first round will advance to the second round. Each subsequent round will eliminate the lowest vote-getter until one candidate is chosen."

It appears there will be no party-organized debates or town halls before the convention. "The nominating convention will provide an opportunity for candidates to address delegates directly," said the party. "Candidates are encouraged to campaign in any way they see fit."

A brokered convention, in late July in Maine, with control of the Senate potentially on the line — what more could the political press corps possibly ask for?

If nothing else, this could make for some great political theater.

Maine already has Susan Collins in the senate. They don't need another democrat.
