The Maine governor’s political bedfellow over at the state’s largest paper just stuck a shiv in his good pal.
Columnist Steve Collins, despite showering praise on Janet Mills as “courageous and compassionate,” offers his own albeit late confessional on what he really thinks of the woman who just quit her Senate campaign.
Or more accurately thought but never said publicly. Until now, when it’s easy to say “I told you so” when no, you didn’t ever say it when it might’ve mattered.
“When Mills decided to challenge Sen. Susan Collins in the longtime incumbent’s reelection bid this year, I worried the governor was simply too old for the task – not just the campaign but the six years that would follow if she won,” Collins discloses. “I wasn’t alone in that concern.”
Oh? Like, who else?
Did Collins ever itemize his list of Mills skeptics?
Course not.
Funny how just now we’re hearing what they really think of “courageous and compassionate” Janet over at the Portland Press Herald.
