Tom Allen is not (D-Portland). He is (ME-01) or (D-ME) or just (D). The same with Susan Collins- she is not (R-Bangor). She is (Sen-ME) or (R-ME) or just (R). Specifying the town or city in which they reside or hail from is misleading. That convention is used primarily for state-level politicians.

Why is it that when Charlie Summers simply calls on his opponent to return money given from a hedge fund manager, that it's considered "an attack?"
It was a challenge...something the press has long ago stopped doing. So Summers, a brave egg in my opinion, simply asked her to return the money. No attack, just a challenge.

Maine Races
Jessica - face it, the Maine House and Senate races are all wrapped up now, as is the State's Presidential nod. Why not spend the next month focussed more on state legislative races?
