Maine Gov. Janet Mills...

[2naSalit]

getting grilled on MSNOW right now.

Asking tough questions and she's handling them well.

1. I only caught part of it and I agree with you.

TY

4. When she gets...

Face to face with Platner, she's going to mop the floor with him. She's been in government for a while and been elected a few times so I am thinking I want the learned person for this next term. Collins is going to have a tough time beating her. One thing Mills said was that all the other candidates who went up against Collins were newcomers and they lost. Mills knows all about concerned susan, I'm gonna stock up on popcorn.

7. Thank you!

I think you are right, 2naSalit. Senator Mills has a nice ring to it.

2. She is far better than the guy with a Nazi tattoo. Nt

3. She's got strong...

Resume and she's quite confident about her responses. She knows when to express a committal type answer to a sly question and when a little push back is needed.

They really got on her about her age but she doesn't seem like she's even close to her age. And she wouldn't make a judgement call on Platner other than to point out that she has a history of public service and she's been elected to statewide races, none of Collins' other contenders did not. She insisted she's only there for one term but she's there to be one of the cleanup crew that we are going to need from every state to get through this. And she's correct.

I liked her other responses as well, there was even a commercial break in the middle of it so they asked about ten questions, I wasn't counting. I think she handled the whole thing well and I look forward to hearing her speak on the Senate Floor.

I'll be voting for her.

5. Her answer to the question about whether she would support Schumer to be leader was mealy mouthed.

Her body language changed when asked that question. She looked embarrassed as she plodded her answer.

Essentially, she said she will decide when the time comes.

Schumer has endorsed her candidacy.

I believe she will blindly support Schumer. Therefore, more AIPAC and more support for Israel's aggressions.

[2naSalit]

6. I think...

She needed to leave it there since she has his endorsement. I don't think she'll blindly follow him.

I think she'll be just fine.

[Intractable]

8. I want more than "just fine."

I think Mills is highly likable and experienced, and would be "just fine" on most issues.

But, she is not what I want for the Dem party, at this time.

Again, my opinion is that she will blindly follow Schumer.

9. I'm not looking for perfection...

I think she will do what I and my fellow Mainers elect her to do.
