** After Landslide Primary Win, Graham Platner Vows to Defeat ‘Spineless and Corrupt’ Susan Collins
------------------------------------------------------------
** Graham Platner, a veteran and oyster farmer vowing to champion the working class against what he’s called the “spineless and corrupt” political establishment, officially became the Democratic Party’s nominee in the critical race to unseat five-term Republican Sen. Susan Collins, winning more than 70% of the vote in Tuesday’s closely watched primary.
------------------------------------------------------------
** During his speech late Tuesday in Blue Hill, Maine, Platner accused “national pundits and the political establishment” of “looking for that one story, that one headline, that one moment in my life that they can define the campaign by.”
------------------------------------------------------------
** “But in trying so hard to understand me, they fail to understand that this is not about me at all,” he said. “This is a movement about us, about the far too many working far too hard in struggling far too much at the hands of the ruling class.”
