In order to flip the upper chamber, Democrats will need to defeat entrenched incumbents, and win in states where they're usually at a disadvantage. Virtually all roads to a Democratic Senate majority run through Maine. That means, as things currently stand, they desperately need a scandal-plagued oyster farmer named Graham Platner to win.
