Maine Senate: Tom Allen - a study in opportunism
Posted May 13th, 2008 by admin
Mark Ellis has a post up at drivel del marcos:
So far, Tom Allen’s strategy has been to ignore the fact that he has a primary challenger and he’s been pretending that his challenger – Tom LeDue – doesn’t actually exist. Recently Democrats have been waking up to the fact that they actually have a choice for their party’s nominee for U.S. Senate and many are giving LeDue a closer look.
That fact hasn’t been lost on Allen. So in order to align himself more with his party’s activists, Tom Allen finished licking his finger and sticking it in the wind. Yesterday, he walked away from his long-standing relationship with the Clintons and endorsed Barack Obama for president.
