Re: 115th Congress. In Bridge, Can Hearts be Trumped? In Spades!
Susan Collins is going to announce next week if she is going to run for governor of Maine. If she does, I think that seat will be a possible Democrat pickup. Paul LePage will appoint someone pretty awful to replace her. Or I guess she could stay in the senate until she was sworn in as Governor (the article linked below says that the Maine Constitution would allow her to keep her senate seat until she is sworn in as Governor), but I don't see how she could run a campaign and then put together an administration while still serving in the senate so I'm not sure she would do that just to keep LePage from appointing someone to replace her.
