This is getting very curious. These influential voices are coming out on this point VERY LATE. The primary is June 9. I do not think anything will happen in advance of the primary, and Platner is going to win with no real opponent still in the race. BUT, under Maine law, if Platner were to drop out after winning the primary, he could be replaced by the Dems on the General Election ballot ONLY IF: 1. He drops out prior to the 2nd Monday in July, and 2. His replacement is named by the 4th Monday in July. I think we are seeing the unfolding of a plan by the Dem. establishment OUTSIDE of Maine to begin a drumbeat for Platner to exit the race after the primary, and let the Party hand-pick a replacement for the General. Pro-Tip -- always read state law to figure out that plan that might be in the process of being hatched behind closed doors.
