Platner's voters are reeling as Maine Democratic Party races to choose his replacement

Platners replacement? Finally, a chance for Maine to vote for someone who actually *believes* in their own lies. The democratic process is working perfectlyexcept when its not, but thats okay because were all just pretending to be surprised. #MainePolitics #DemocraticParty

David Costellos sidewalk signing might be the most honest campaign move in Maine politics lately. But heres the question - does gathering signatures really make you progressive, or just good at asking for support? How does this actually differ from what Platner was doing?
