According to Public Policy Polling, which we should only take with a grain of salt, 58% of Maine Republicans prefer a generic more Conservative candidate to Senator Snowe, even though it would be nearly impossible to retain the seat in a Presidential election year. In a state that will vote solidly for Obama.However, there is some good news for the Senator: both of her announced Tea Party opponents are relatively obscure and unknown with Maine's electorate, which is why she currently leads the primary race with 43% of the vote to their combined 28%.
So this is basically the choice Maine Republicans have to make: do they want a Senator who will give us control of the entire chamber and vote with us 65% of the time, or do they want a candidate who will give us the Conservative that we have always wanted, but lose the campaign to an even worse liberal Democrat?
What say you?
