Not sure Graham Platner meant to say what he did by trying to praise Janet Mills as she exited stage left.

“We both got into this race because we knew how critical defeating Susan Collins is,” Platner said in his campaign statement. “And her decision today reflects that commitment.”

So it’s thank you Janet for your commitment to losing – so I can win.

Now that’s funny stuff.

RETREAT!! Macho military tough guy Graham Platner just escaped out the back door of his rally to avoid questions from the fearsome Jon Fetherston.

Everyone else, even Shenna Bellows, went out the front!!

We captured the entire thing on Maine Wire TV. You can watch for yourself… https://t.co/EnAbHASm6d pic.twitter.com/A7x8XgOgeH
