And she was talking about the 'Progressive Energy' around Graham Platner.

Only thing is - I've yet to see progressive energy lead to wins in Maine. Looks like the last Democratic to hold the office left in 1995.
Since then it's been Snowe, King (Indie) and Collins.

None of those three have Progressive Credentials.
