6. I'm deep in the 2nd D

My choices were based on whether the successful Democratic candidate would have "a prior history" that would immediately trigger the morans and maybe some like-minded "independents".

Mills, Eve, St. Pierre are all excellent candidates, but I fear many people in the 2nd D would not give then the time of day because they either tangled with LePage, or in the case of St. Pierre, would trigger an immediate negative response because of Roxanne Quimby and the National Monument.

Olsen and Cote do not have that "prior history" and would not be subject to those immediate knee-jerk attacks.

Maybe I'm right - maybe I'm wrong....
