General Discussion

in the NYTimes this afternoon. In the middle of an article about Platner:

"As the situation in Maine threatened to spiral out of control, Mr. Schumer and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee are set to host major donors this week for a fund-raising retreat at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs. Donors are asked to contribute $44,300 to attend, according to a copy of the invitation. The event, which was previously scheduled, was billed as a “special weekend to discuss the D.S.C.C.’s strategy and campaigns for taking back the Democratic Senate majority,” but now talk is likely to be consumed by the developments in Maine." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/07/us/politics/graham-platner-maine-replacements-democrats.html?unlocked_article_code=1.wFA.IFzM.pRQtY6rJ6-X1&smid=url-share

It doesn't take much reading between the lines to understand this ... and Maine will be getting a candidate more appealing to the old guard.
