&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Huh. Larry hates a pro-peace person but favors a warmongering jackboot licking Susan Collins! Not surprised. Susan Collins’ record speaks volumes and guys like Larry are hoping that making insults  against Tom Allen or his supporters will be a win for her and will keep Mainers from focusing on Collins’ record! Just like the shadow of Joe Lieberman on Susan, supporters like Larry will be terrific for Allen’s win in 2008. ;-)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That Kay is pretty darned fiery, isn’t she?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;As a lifelong New Englander, I have confidence that Maine will turn Democratic in 2008.  Two Republican Senators in a northern state doesn’t make sense.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;BTW, Mr. Allen - I’m the Secretary for the Connecticut for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecticut_for_Lieberman&quot;&gt;Connecticut for Lieberman Party&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our job, since Prof. John Orman took over Joe’s party, is to hold the Senator accountable for his distortions, evasions and subterfuges. It has been a difficult task to date. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You assistance in challenging his seat-rearranging friend is a much needed strike that has support in the polls, This country is exhausted from Bush fatigue.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We support you.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Howie @ 91 - it’s hard to believe that our Senator from CT is savvy enough about the internets to know about trolls. The CT bloggers are still waiting for him to apologize for that website fiasco.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tom, you have alot of people in CT behind you. Thank you for running and clearly stating truth and honesty against those who follow this administration.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Court will certainly not hesitate to call for such assistance from these luminaries, as necessary in the interests of justice and equity, whenever similar questions arise in the cases that come before it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh, I just looooove this!  Hope he really does.  Let’s see Judge Bork up there representing some poor mother accused of welfare fraud, or a kid who got into a fist fight at school and got arrested (see Bob Herbert at the NYT today).&lt;br /&gt;
I’d pay to see that.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Sorry - first paragraph was supposed to end:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;how badly Susan Collins has violated the spirit of independence Mainers expect by marching lockstep with the administration and its failed policies.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I just wanted to say the intro was well-written and shows a true understanding of how we Mainers see ourselves. For that reason, I want to emphasize the importance, in this coming campaign, of showing how badly Susan&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Secondly, I want to re-raise the Net Neutrality issue. It’s terribly important. I’m a web guy in Maine, and on behalf of my peers I’d like to say that an organization like MoveOn - with some Mainers prominent in its staff - could never have come about without the long-standing policy that Net Neutrality seeks to preserve. For every small business (i was one, to quote our pres), we need this.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you so much Congressman Allen for the opportunity to talk with you! Good luck. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And, thank you FireDogLake for your terrific blog plus the vlogging &amp; live chats you do here with the politicians Americans want to get to know better. Wonderful. ;-)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ah, good - you made it. I had baseball with the kid.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
