The New York Times says Collins is "gliding towards a third term" and contrasts her position with the rest of the national Republican party.
While other Republican incumbents have found themselves brutally assailed by Democrats as allies of President Bush, who is mortally unpopular, and have seen their poll numbers plummet as a result of the financial crisis, Ms. Collins has offered Republicans a very bright spot on an otherwise bleak political map.

She also talks about supporting Obama's health care plan.

Collins was also connected to James Tobin the guy involved with the phone jamming in NH. Collins may appear to not be connected to George Bush, but if you view her record over the last eight years, you'll find she voted in favor of his policies 55% to 80% of the time. His economic policies she voted in favor of 88% of the time! She's not fooled a lot of us. Unfortunately, the media in Maine seems to think she's terrific, which is funny, because you'd think the media would have the capacity to view her record online? I guess they only do their job when it's on a Democrat.
If only she'd had a challenger.
Is Allen too nice to fight, or does he want to be governor? If his wife is too sick, I get it. Otherwise, why have so many good people been rending their garments doing yeomans labor trying to get him elected while he keeps his powder dry as part of some super-stealthy campaign strategy.
What is the matter with the people of Maine?
why is it the people of Maine re-elect Collins? She is so
for the Bush (Republican) way of government!
WAKE UP PEOPLE OF MAINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
