They all speak in a normal fashion. Even if what Mark Lawrence says about impeachment comes off sounding like pandering to the loony left.
They all conduct themselves appropriately. Although, Ethan Strimling tried to claim an endorsement he didn’t get, and Chellie Pingree takes money from sources she supposedly opposes.
They’re for change. Although, in Adam Cote’s case, that seems to mean the random changing of political parties.
They don’t insist on running over and over for the same position, even though voters have made it clear they aren’t interested. Except Charlie Summers.
They don’t wear those Michael Heath pins. Except Dean Scontras.
And none of them is a Steve Meister-like complete unknown who’s in this race for no discernable reason. Except Steve Meister.
In the Democratic primary for the US Senate, Tom Allen is not a kook. He’s an anti-kook — a kook only in some alternative universe where kookiness and normal behavior are reversed. He’s so unkooky, it’s almost ... kooky. Which could be a problem, because his communications director, Carol Andrews, is already exceeding the recommended kookiness level for one campaign. Check her out on YouTube (youtube.com/watch?v=Hlqe6EbSnuY). Although, you’ve got to think that camera guy she shut down is kind of a wuss.
Allen’s opponent, Tom Ledue, is actually Steve Meister. I mean, you’ve never seen Ledue and Meister together, right? Come to think of it, you’ve never seen Ledue and Allen together, either.
The winner of that Senate primary will take on Republican incumbent Susan Collins. Nobody would call a sitting US senator a kook.
Most people use much uglier terms.
