Is Platner Fit To Be a U.S. Senator?
Source: RealClearPolitics - Homepage · Bias: Center Right
Summary
For a week I've watched the commentators and the party line up to tell me Graham Platner is too compromised for the United States Senate. Last night the Democrats of Maine answered them. He's on track to win his primary with about 72 percent of the vote, carrying nearly every county in the state. This is not the outcome of a candidate distrusted by the voters, it's in fact the opposite. It's a landslide.
