King, Mitchell on Senate race

LEWISTON -- Former Gov. Angus King, an independent, said that he will not be picking sides in the U.S. Senate race between incumbent Sen. Susan Collin (R-Bangor) and U.S. Rep. Tom Allen (D-Portland).

“I know and like both of them,” King said.

On the other hand, former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell, a Democrat, said he expects it to be a close race.

“I think that Allen will win,” Mitchell said, “But it’s always difficult running against an incumbent.”

Both King and Mitchell were in Lewiston this morning to endorse Barack Obama for President.
