I am an octogenarian who has lived my entire life, except for my Navy time, in Louisiana. I have followed politics for about six decades so I know a thing or two about corrupt, incompetent, hypocritical and spineless politicians.
If I didn’t have gumbo, crawfish and boudin running through my bloodstream I would move to Maine for the privilege of being represented by Susan Collins. What a great feeling it must be for Mainers to have someone with a moral compass and a backbone actually represent them in Congress, regardless of their political beliefs.
I can only hope, one day, we have one or two like her. Congratulations to the Maine voters for their clarity in selecting Sen. Collins.
