King is in! Angus King (I-ME) to run for Snowe's seat.

I'd prob support King if he did run.

Me too)))

Excellent. My most favorite candidate in the state (we have similar views and both are Indies to boot...)

[smoltchanov]

The only important thing now - King will, probably, win. Right now i don't see neither Democrtic nor Republican candidate able to beat him. As Senator he will likely vote as moderate-liberal Democrat (Herb Kohl-type). That's fine enough with me.

I prefer a real independent over a "moderate Republican".

"Independent" is not ideological category, "moderate" - is. It's absolutely impossible to compatre them - that would be something like comparing scissors and apples.
