Will Susan Collins win re-election?

Yes. I think she will. She may not be popular with regards to her position on the "war on terror", but she has not gone as far as our erstwhile President in that regard. She is still an exemplary leader. She is bipartisan, she has authority and power in the Senate and she gets things done for Maine. Tom Allen, while an able public servant, is not above the ordinary mold. He is doing quite well in the House and we should keep him there. Except, he isn't running for re-election, so I guess he's out of a job.
