We were away for the last few days, and there are a couple issues we'd like to get caught up on. But first an observation about the third quarter fundraising numbers.
While Sen. Collins retains a decisive lead--in both receipts and cash on hand--it seems clearer than ever that this race will not be decided by money.
Rep. Allen may not achieve one-to-one parity, but because he's also an incumbent--and because he'll likely be getting a fundraising hand from prominent blogs--he'll have no trouble bringing in plenty of money--more than enough to compete.
That sets the stage for a balanced race focused on the issues, at least if that's what both candidates want. Which is fantastic.
Of course, Sen. Collins and her team have demonstrated yet again in the last week that they're looking to discuss nearly anything but the issues facing Mainers.
More on that in the next day or two.

I'm looking for some 'talking points' about Collins. Nothing that requires any political sophistication, just a few statements that take her down, for use during conversations at the local playgrounds, etc.
Ideas?
What Collins says in Maine and does in DC are different. She's supported the war 100%, and will vote No on something when Bush or Cheney don't need her vote, but when they need it, she's there for them. She also chaired the Homeland Security Committee charged with overseeing agencies like FEMA, the sweetheart war deals and held no hearings.
That's just for starters.
