Today Sen. John McCain leaves for a trip to Colombia and Mexico, demonstrating once again just how out of touch he is with working families in Maine and across the country.Mainers have been wounded by bad trade deals over and over again, watching their jobs go overseas and their communities crumble, yet McCain continues to enthusiastically support the proposed U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement and celebrate the horrible effects of NAFTA.
"It's unfortunate that a celebration of the Democratic Party's presidential nominee was marked by this situation. We take such threatening messages very seriously and I'm glad that a suspect has been arrested."
-- Gov. John Baldacci on the arrest of a Brunswick man who sent a threatening email to Baldacci and at least one delegate from the Maine Democratic Party.
