She is the most moderate of republicans and a sure win IF she is the candidate in the general election. But the Tea Party could give us a gift by running a primary candidate against her. Is Maine and Open or Closed Primary? If it's opened then I think alot of independents and moderate dem voters might help Collins hang on but closed could spell doom.
