She will probably see the writing on the wall.she is up for re-election in a swing state that usually leans blue during Presidential elections with a republican President. You can only re-position yourself as a moderate so many times and the mask is off now.

Perhaps a second career as a lobbyist is in order? As payoff for her vote.

Paul LeTrump is termed out. They should focus on getting him replaced by a good Democrat.

And take back ME-02 and the state senate.
