I doubt seriously that Graham Platner is anything close to the perfect guy for Mainers to put in a US Senate seat.

And I doubt he's somebody I'd trust absolutely to do - or to have done - exactly the right thing. Past, present, or future.

He's a politician, so grains of salt are in order.

But he seems not to be trying to hide from anything. He's fucked up on occasion, he seems to be honest about acknowledging it all, he looks you in the eye when he speaks - without that over-practiced phony shit-eatin' smiley smirky attitude that people like Collins always bring - and he's made adjustments. He's worked on himself.

So when Corporate Media Lords line up against somebody who genuinely wants to make some real changes that just might help regular normal people, it pays to be very skeptical of what their Press Poodles are trying to tell us.
