With a July 25th convention and July 27th deadline looming, the party is calling on delegates from all 16 counties to pick a new contender, while several high-profile figures, including former gubernatorial hopefuls, are already stepping forward. The clock is ticking—and Maine’s voters are watching closely. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
