2. I call it being real and understanding Maine politics. I guess you don't.

Your hyperbolic mini-rant in just that. You need to understand the state of Maine and its politics. I guess you missed what happened in the 2010 election. I guess you don't understand the Maine electorate. I guess you would be happy with zero-practicality purity rather than what is actually doable. If was Chellie vs. and R one on one, she'd probably win. With King in, she simply can not. What do you want? To split the vote and get someone as bad as LePuke? Someone like that asshat Summers? Because that could likely happen. There is the world of purity, and there is the world of reality. I choose the latter. Chellie Pingree would lose. And underneath your purist ideology, you know that just as well as I do.
