Collins: It’s too soon to determine Stevens’ fate

By Jessica Alaimo, PolitickerME.com Reporter

The Maine Democratic Party blasted a statement by U.S. Sen. Susan Collins (R-Bangor) that she would not call on Sen. Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) to step down. Stevens was convicted this week on seven counts of violating federal ethics laws.

Many of her Republican colleagues, including Presidential candidate John McCain, have called on Stevens to step down as senator and abandon his reelection bid.

Rebecca Pollard, communications director for the Maine Democratic Party, demanded today that Collins take a stand.
