ME SEN: Collins Hits Back

Sen. Susan Collins' (R-ME) campaign has posted a response ad on YouTube to the recent TV ad run by Americans United for Change.

Although Rep. Tom Allen (D) has not officially announced a SEN candidacy, he seems all but certain to run and had more CoH at the start of '07 than Collins. So far, we know that potentially vulnerable Sens. Elizabeth Dole (R-NC) and Norm Coleman (R-MN) had good 1st quarters, money-wise. ME is a smaller state, of course, but will Collins or Allen have also successfully ramped up their fundraising apparatuses? [QUINN MCCORD]

Good move by Collins to respond quickly, but her response only creates more problems for her.

She says she's speaking out against the surge, but then essentially votes for it?!? Sounds like Collins has Kerryitis. Maybe it's really Senatoritis.

What marcus said.

She's challenged to explain her vote and she fights back saying the question comes from "out-of-state?"

Why would she hope ANYBODY sees her video?
