Dan Abrams say it is a "godsend" for Democrats if Platner steps down.. [View all]

He had a young reporter, whose name escapes me, on his YouTube program. Abrams thought if Platner stayed in the race, he would lose to Susan Collins. The young reporter, from Bangor Maine, agreed. He also said that he believed that Platner would step down tomorrow. He mentioned a couple of names, Troy Jackson (sp) being one of them.

Stay tuned.
