I hesitated over Democratic choices for Governor since there is more than one that I'd be happy with. Voting for Senator was a no-brainer. I voted for
Graham Platner because we have to get rid of Collins and I believe he's the best one to accomplish that, flaws and all. No need to go into comparisons with Trump and so many other Republicans who have their own sorry histories, some quite recent. I don't want to sacrifice good for the sake of perfect, something Dems do all too often. Look where that's gotten us.
