Remember, Sen. Collins (via her Dirigo PAC) dropped a big contribution on Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) after the Feds had started investigating his shenanigans last year.
(For some context, check out this article, which ran the day before Collins' $5000 donation to Stevens.)
As far as I'm aware and as best as I can recall, this donation has never been discussed or even referenced by any Maine news outlet.
Now, the point isn't that Sen. Collins is a crook or a friend to criminals.
The point is that the junior senator has been such a consummate Republican team player that she was willing to funnel reelection money even to a GOP colleague under federal investigation.
It shows just how important she thinks it is for Republicans to stay in power. And how serious she's been about making it happen.
UPDATE: Back in July, PolitickerME.com, to its credit, did raise the issue of Collins' donation Stevens.
