What if Peter Mills and Eliot Cutler get into the Senate race now that Snowe is out? [View all]

Peter Mills would be formidable. Steve Abbott may also be interested. What if Cutler gets in? I think Matt Dunlap would be very good. I think Mike Michaud should stay put to keep that congressional seat away from Kevin Raye. If Cutler gets in, it could mess it up for us. We should be able to pick up this seat. But you know Maine with its indies and crossovers. This will become interesting.
