I do think that there's a chance that everything goes so down the tubes come November that more than a few Maine voters will be so pissed at Republicans overall that they'll give even Platner's indescretions a bit of a pass. Remember that similar eulogies were thrown at Bill Clinton in 1996 after the Monica Lewinsky BJ-cum-blue-dress and Paula Jones/Gennifer Flowers scandal broke, and all it got from most Dems was "Meh".
It just got much harder, yes, but it's still doable.
