Maine Senate Primary

It took awhile, but the race to determine Senator Olympia Snowe's (R) opponent in the general election has ended with Jean Hay Bright (D) beating out Eric Menhert (D) 51%-49%.

I don't think that Snowe is very vulnerable. She is a two-termer who has become well known as a leading moderate voice in the Senate. Bright will have significant work ahead of her if she wants to make a dent in Snowe's armor, and I think the fiercely independent Maine voters will stick with Snowe.
