  the dialog between Senator Collins and the people of Maine over the next 18 months. Campaigns are when ideas get scrutinized and new ways to address old problems are spawned. Engaging an online audience effectively has every bit as much to do with listening as it does to delivering a message, and my job will be to help create the foundation

  is said and done. Although Collins has maintained solid approval ratings, she has not achieved the iconic status of the state’s other senator, fellow centrist Republican Olympia J. Snowe, who has been prominent on Maine’s political scene for almost 35 years and who, unlike Collins, broke with Bush earlier on the war. Collins rebuts

  turns out that Collins (R) has used "orchestrated scandals" before, and used one to win her first election. A few weeks before the election, Collins’ staff and the political reporter for the Bangor Daily News conspired to coordinate a story that made it look like Brennan was using dirty campaign tactics against Collins.

  example of the hypocrisy of Susan Collins, but Christy Hardin Smith already nailed it perfectly with the line "Oh, hypocrisy. Thy name is Sen. Susan Collins." Oh, yes it is. Christy linked to a column in Maine Coast News about Ms. Collins titled "The senator who cried wolf." The column is causing quite a buzz in Maine political circles.

  public events involving Susan Collins and record what she says. Our own Stockton Springs Sesquicentennial Parade made state news because Allen’s man was catching Collins on tape there.
