POLITICAL NEWS THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE
Angus King Continues To Lead In The U.S. Senate Race In Maine
By: presidential-politics.com
September 30, 2012
From
the date of his entry to the U.S. senate race in Maine as an
Independent candidate, former Governor Angus King has been able to
maintain a solid lead over both the Republican Party candidate Charlie
Summers and the Democratic party candidate Cynthia Dill.
Mr.
king has not indicated as to which party he would caucus with, in the
event he is elected to the U.S. senate. He is a former member of
the Democratic Party. Democrat Cynthia Dill is polling very poorly (14%
in the latest poll) and is not expected to win. There are unconfirmed
reports that the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee is buying over
$400,000 worth of TV advertising in the U.S. Senate race in Maine. For
which candidate have they bought this advertising time? We will soon
find out.
