Former UN Ambassador Susan Rice said on Twitter Friday that she may want to run for Senate in Maine, following Sen. Susan Collins’ (R-ME) announcement that she would support Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.

2. Whichever one can take out Collins.

[elleng]

5. Yes

[Jersey Devil]

3. Moon Shadow?

I kind of liked Cat Stevens better, though I would certainly support London.

[BeckyDem]

4. Great!

[exboyfil]

6. Stephen King?

Not really in his wheelhouse, but he has the name recognition.

And a brain.

[Hekate]

12. Susan Rice is highly accomplished. Why the crack about King "has a brain"?

[exboyfil]

14. Directed towards Collins

I would be more than happy with Rice. She would be an excellent Senator, and I wish her the best. I only regret we have to wait two years.

[Hekate]

16. Gotcha. Thank you.

[Lithos]

30. Does Maine have recall?

Thinking sooner, maybe...

[JI7]

33. i don't think so but it would be a waste anyways

recalls usually don't go well. just look at scott walker in wisconsin.

people just need to vote during election time. and she is up in just 2 years anyways.

7. There is another name.

Democrat Jared Golden, assistant majority leader in the Maine house. Is running for the US House against the republican Poloquin in Maine's 2nd district. 36 years old, former Marine with tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Surprisingly once was an aid to Collins.

If he can win the 2nd district US House seat, he can run very strong against Collins statewide.

8. More good news, thank you.

9. If Ms Rice runs, get ready for the republicans to dust off that old Benghazi smear...

They used Benghazi to scuff Hillary's image and they'll use it against Ms Rice, too.

[Hekate]

15. And we will have learned from history to have her back. Won't we?

[KCDebbie]

18. How will having her back help her? We had Hillary's back and she was the most

maligned Presidential candidates in history!

We're not the press. We won't be doing the interviews. We won't be asking her the questions. We won't be writing the articles.

Then there's Fox News and Breitbart. How are we gonna fight against ALL that bull$hit?

[Hekate]

19. OK. So let the fascists herd us like sheep in the direction they want us to go in choosing candidate

PS: Hillary Clinton won

[KCDebbie]

20. I never said Susan Rice shouldn't run! I simply pointed out that

that the republicans will run the Benghazi playbook again because they had so much success dragging Hillary over the coals...

I'm just saying, Ms Rice needs to be able to counter the Benghazi-based attacks with something other than taking the high road...

[Hekate]

21. So are Dems going to have her back, or leave her to twist in the wind all alone?

[KCDebbie]

27. Susan Rice may need the services of this guy....

Screw taking the high road - it doesn't get Dems/Progressives anywhere! Burton may get Ms Rice to the promised land.

10. Rice?

I have to think the party can do better than Rice.

[Hekate]

13. What makes you say that about a highly accomplished woman?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

11. Is she from Maine?

[BeckyDem]

17. Maine resident Susan Rice, Obama's former national security advisor and ambassador to the

the United Nations, responded to Psaki with one word: “Me.”

25. Exclusively DC? It doesn't look that way.

[oberliner]

28. Her family has a summer home in Maine, but she lives in DC

[BeckyDem]

29. She doesn't need more than that to run in Maine, not that I know of.

[oberliner]

22. No, she's from DC

[rogue emissary]

24. She would destroy Collins.

Let them bring up Benghazi. Collins is now and will always be tagged as a supporter of a known attempted rapist.

[meadowlark5]

26. Maine has to vote her OUT!

Boy what a twit she turned out to be. Why does she even bother dancing around her decision? She knew weeks ago she was going to vote for him. I'm sure there are a lot of republicans that were nauseated about having to vote for him, but they will never buck the party. They're like the Georgetown Prep boys - stick together, lie and deny, just always stick together, lie and deny.

31. I live in Maine. This is a purple state, but it's magenta not violet. She

would have to contend with our racist Trumpers, the Benghazi nuts, and perhaps most damningly, being from "away." (That's still a huge deal here.)

That said, I will gladly support her and campaign for her if she runs!

32. It seems like the more populated areas are pretty blue, however.

Along the southern Maine coast.
