Why Should Chuck Schumer Choose Maine’s US Senator?

Trying to stop a real democrat from being the party’s nominee, Schumer recruited Maine’s lame-duck, milquetoast governor to run against Platner, knowing she would not challenge the corporate order. He raised truckloads of corporate cash for her, hoping to suffocate the oysterman’s populist uprising.

@jimhightower Whatever anyone thinks about it, it's not unprecedented. In 2006, the GOP commissioned attack ads against GOP US Senate candidate Steve Laffey in R.I., for the same reason: fear of losing the general to a wingnut who might win the primary.
