The Maine candidates for Senate traded blows as the race for the seat intensified this week. The current senator, Olympia Snowe (R) is not running for re-election, leaving three candidates to step up to replace her. Cynthia Dill (D), Charlie Summers (R), and Angus King (Independent) are running in a unique political environment, which has recently been complicated by their cutthroat campaigns.

Whoever occupies the White House after January of 2013 will probably get to make at least one key appointment affecting the long-term future of the Supreme Court.

On the liberal side of the Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg will be 80 next year, while on the right, Justice Scalia will be about the same age by the end of the next presidential term.
