If you wanted to look up the word "awkward" in the dictionary, it is quite possible at this point that a secondary or tertiary definition for the word could roughly describe what the Democratic Party's Senate campaign wing has to negotiate with regards to the state of Maine this season.
When you see Patty Murray get asked if the Democratic Party will be supporting the elected nominee of the Democratic Party, and you see her hemming and hawing, you get a real feel for how delicate the dance is for Senate Democrats right now down East, courtesy of one Angus King, the former two-term Independent governor of the state.
We get data today that bears out just how delicate that dance is going to be. Awkward doesn't begin to describe it, folks.
