Republican Collins to remain in Senate, ending speculation about bid for Maine governor
« on: October 13, 2017, 01:50:09 pm »
 By Sean Sullivan October 13 at 8:32 AM

Sen. Susan Collins of Maine announced Friday that she will not run for governor in 2018, renewing her commitment to serve in a sharply polarized Senate where her centrist Republican positions have made her a key bulwark against much of President Trump’s agenda.

Ending months of speculation about her political future, Collins, who does not face reelection until 2020, opted to stick with the job she has held for the last two decades, even as other moderate GOP lawmakers including Rep. Charlie Dent (Pa.) and Sen. Bob Corker (Tenn.) are heading for the exits.

*Sigh*

Can anyone offer a reason why it wouldn't be better to have a democrat in this seat, rather than having this flake giving cover to every party line vote the democrats win?
