With Pingree not running, King is more likely to get more Democrats against any of the remaining challengers. King is strong enough where he siphons off a good amount of Republican support, enough to push the Republican into the 20s.

He'd have to run as a moderate hero to keep his Republican support - Crist's dropped from ~30% to near-zero when he decided to run as a pseudo-Democrat.

You can't use Chaffee or Crist as real examples. They were Republicans. Crist went Indy after losing the primary, and Chaffee became Indy after 2006. King was elected twice as an Independent.

 I think this race is his to lose. I can't picture a dem or republican winning.

But King appears to have shifted dramatically to the left since his stint as governor.
