I don't mean to pick on Kevin Wack. He's done some very solid reporting on the Allen-Collins race.
But I think his assumption here--that Sen. Collins will unload the campaign contribution she's received from the guy who runs Sen. John McCain's robocall firm--is misplaced.
Remember, it took till July, and an indictment, for Collins to dump a contribution from Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK). Even though he'd been under investigation for more than a year.
In fact, just as that investigation gathered steam, she sent him a big chunk of change.
What's more, as far as I know, she hasn't given back this $1,000 contribution from this guy. (More on Petters here.)
The lesson seems to be that the junior senator unloads contributions from supporters when they come under indictment. Sometimes.
