Whopper, No Cheese

The AP turned its focus to Maine on Sunday, shining its spotlight on the 2008 race for US Senate.

Not much news in the piece. But Collins aide Steve Abbott shows his hand, proclaiming:

"Sen. Collins has always been a centrist, taking a nonpartisan approach."

What a whopper.

Still, it's a refrain we'll be hearing often over the next nineteen months.
