The fact that Graham Platner is apparently leading Gov. Mills in the Maine primary is ageism out of control [View all] dsc Oct 2025 OP

Have there been any polls released since he revealed his Nazi tattoo to the world? tritsofme Oct 2025 #1

Isn't it still coming from that one poll? leftstreet Oct 2025 #2

AI lists 4 polls with Mills leading in one of the four womanofthehills Oct 2025 #71

Thanks leftstreet Oct 2025 #73

They aren't the only choices Fiendish Thingy Oct 2025 #3

The woman has won nearly every race she has been in dsc Oct 2025 #8

Not the biggest crime, but age is indeed a very important factor for voters to consider Fiendish Thingy Oct 2025 #19

According to reality based Wikipedia Mills is 77 not 79. BannonsLiver Oct 2025 #91

If she's elected, she'll be 79 on the day she's sworn in as a Senator - the oldest first year Senator ever. NT Midwestern Democrat Oct 2025 #95

Great. But that's not right now. Right now she's 77. BannonsLiver Oct 2025 #106

I don't know how he got there, soldierant Oct 2025 #49

Eight months out from the primary, there is no need to anoint a presumptive nominee Fiendish Thingy Oct 2025 #53

Ranked Choice Voting will apply for this primary, correct? RandomNumbers Oct 2025 #99

Or is he just Too Progressive? thought crime Oct 2025 #81

What would be "too progressive" exactly? I'm not familiar with him. Policy? Something else? betsuni Oct 2025 #82

If you listen to his political speech from way back before Mills entered. A month or two ago. thought crime Oct 2025 #83

Oh, so you mean now that it turns out he's not so progressive, former supporters have "knives out." betsuni Oct 2025 #89

No, that's not what I meant at all. thought crime Oct 2025 #96
