What I see is that in Platners sign off, they left a poison pill in the process Democrats will have to reckon with. They clearly are making the point that this is completely unfounded, and coming from within the DNC/ Maine Democrats. Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. You can believe what it will, but so will Maine Democrats and especially Maine Volunteers associated with the Platner campaign. And this alone also leaves Platner with some leverage.
Like it or not, if Platner doesn’t endorse or support the candidate who follows, they can’t win. Platners Volunteer and base of support is so large, that without basically all of them supporting the new candidate, that candidate can’t win.
And with that, its not like they didn’t try in multiple ways. I’m more interested in the Platner denial at this point. It was incredibly forceful.
If they can produce concrete evidence that the claims made against them are false, it could flip this whole thing on its head and I could see them easily running as a write-in.
There still a few days left in this week.

It doesn’t matter.
Dems don’t run clean primaries and this will be no different. The only reason Platner had a chance was because his popularity made it rig-proof.
