Evidently sabotaging your own nominee and trying to go with the far-right Conservative Party guy instead of the Republican didn't work out so well. All of this Republican infighting and destruction of moderates ultimately does nothing but help the Democrats. But anyway, it does seem that the Democrat won, so one good thing did happen anyway.
As for Maine, #1 looks like it's going to pass (horrible... :() though it is close enough that a recount is assured, #s 2, 3, and 4 all failed (very good news there at least, for 2 and 4 going down!), and 5 passed.
