I am not at all impressed with the three candidates running for U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe’s seat. My take on the three is that all three are talking into the wind with a deaf ear to the real concerns of the people they each hope to represent.

All three speak about how they would re-start the national economy without acknowledging what caused the economy to drop. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that the bottom dropped out of the economy as soon as the gas prices rose artificially high. People lost their jobs and homes and had to move away to find work; the elderly had to choose between heat for their homes and food or prescriptions to stay alive. All that while gasoline companies were reporting record high profits.

Why aren’t Angus King, Charlie Summers or Cynthia Dill addressing those concerns? If voters could clean out all the dunderheads in Washington and re-staff with people off the sidewalk, I guarantee things would soon be straightened out in Washington.
