Well, karma shows no grace.

But, boy, if this isn’t a potential self-own, I don’t know what is. 

Nevertheless, Platner is now the nominee, which means Maine is about to engage in an expensive experiment to answer several thorny questions: What are voters willing to overlook? How much weight does incumbency carry? Will voters fed up with Donald Trump give Susan Collins points for having held him at arms length, or punish her for so often backing his agenda?

Maine Democrats had another option—sort of. Gov. Janet Mills suspended her campaign in April as she struggled to match Platner’s shine. Yet the term-limited Governor remained on the ballot. In recent days, she low-key reminded her supporters that she was still eligible to take the nomination if offered, but no one really took her up on that fact—in no small measure because the 78-year-old Mills would have been the oldest first-term Senator in history.

Republicans, meanwhile, are whispering that Democrats' fears of unused Platner oppo are well-founded. They’re also hinting that, when it comes to Platner, there's more than one shoe left to drop.
