Scott Fish

As Maine Goes, the conservative message board for Maine politics, was buzzing with news about the VP pick today, said editor Scott Fish. At 4 p.m., the thread about the pick had 119 replies and 2,447 page views, Fish said.

About 90 percent of the posters were excited about the pick, including some who had been weary about McCain.

Chris Potholm, a political science professor at Bowdoin College, said this will help those to the far right who said McCain was too moderate.

Not only was David Bright bounced from the Maine State Democratic Committee, but from the executive committee as well.

The conservative discussion board As Maine Goes broke this tidbit yesterday, when Bright provided a statement to AMG Editor Scott Fish by request. Bright then referred others to this statement.

Bright was removed from these committees at last week’s meeting because, according to him, he was a supporter of Herb Hoffman, who was an independent candidate for U.S. Senate up until yesterday when the Maine Supreme Court ruled that enough of his signatures were invalid to remove him from the ballot.
