## Resource

Today, on a guest-less show, we discuss the news of the day: principally, the rising number of unsavory allegations against U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner (D-ME). What are we to think about the allegations? How much benefit of the doubt does Platner deserve at this point? Are allegations alone, as yet unsubstantiated, enough to call upon Platner to withdraw from the race against longtime incumbent Susan Collins? John and Dan weigh in. . . .
