New Maine senate thread

Platner is out (hooray!). Dems have a couple of weeks or so to pick a new candidate. How will they do it? Who will they pick? How will that candidate fare against Collins? If they can pull it together, I hope they do a statewide caucus (since another primary election is probably impossible on such short notice), and I hope Troy Jackson wins.
