Tom Allen Sends Disguised Tracker Back to Menace Collins

Dear Friends,
They're baaaack.
Remember last summer when Tom Allen's political pals sent a tracker to video tape Senator Collins at parades and festivals? Well, apparently they were undaunted by the unanimous denunciation of that practice by the state's editorial pages.
Now we know why. The tracker gets to play dress up!
A new tracker has been following Senator Collins this summer. She recently showed up at the Norway Sidewalk Arts Festival, and stayed at Senator Collins' side taping her the whole time.
Sometimes she wears a baseball cap and sunglasses. Sometimes she doesn't wear the cap but wears the sunglasses "“ even on cloudy days.
But our favorite is the brunette wig.
This past weekend, Senator Collins spoke at the opening of the Lincoln County Republican headquarters in Waldoboro. Tom Allen sent his tracker to sneak into a public event. Wearing a wig.
Apparently Tom Allen's staff has been overdosing on reruns of ALIAS, or perhaps, Get Smart. If we'd known tracking was this much fun, we might have started doing it too. Back in Junior High.
Here are some of the many faces of Tom Allen's tracker:
Dressing up a staffer in a wig and sneaking her into an event makes us wonder what the next step for the Allen campaign will be.
Thanks, as always, for your continued support,
The Collins for Senator Campaign
Can you blame them? Allen's polling numbers stink.
Besides, if weren't for a tracker, perhaps the R's would be still in control of the Senate i.e. George Allen of Virginia
Apollo - Dear Young Lad - Somehow I do not think it's the brunette wig that has your full attention in that shot...
Love and smooches,

:D
Hahaha - it was the Collins people that sent out the photo! Still, I think LaMarche is the premier cutie in Maine...
There's little doubt what will come next. Allen's campaign manager was imported from Tennessee where she gained notoriety for running dirty campaigns. If Allen continues to run behind in the polls, any "dirt" this tracker can uncover will fly.
Has anyone approached the person to say Hello?
Perhaps an Obama type interview with the tracker is in line? I mean that is a story, too bad TPTSNBN does not care about this, would be interesting to ask this person who they are, why they are filming the event, and if they are a paid to be there.
The dirty lies, just too bad a paper (Hint Hint) would not take it upon themself to be investigative.
God a funny Crammer typer with a hand held video camera.
Oh well.

I guess there is nothing "illegal" about tracking candidates as they do their thing in public. I remember there were a pair or so tracking Chandler Woodcock.
But this wig thing is a hoot....how childish and transparent can you get?
I suggest that a woman go up to her, ask politely where she buys her wigs, and then show her the other photos. Meantime, another person circling up from behind with a camera can record the encounter, and the response.
Oh, the fun we have with Campaigns in Maine!
:lol:
I suggest that a young man approaches her, if she swings that way, and gets romantically involved so the plot thickens and we have a real spy vs. spy story.
"romantically?"
Are you an old fashioned type?
I’m not volunteering Mevlin, but Jarody may have a new roll for the Republican Party.
Just kidding Jarody. :P
Man, that person must be paid one whole hell of a lot of money to listen daily to Collins.
Maybe she's deaf, and just turns on the record button whenever Collins' lips move.
Then again, there are masochists out there.

Now that you mention it.................
there is some pretty significant "cleavage" going on there.... :D
As they say up heah in Maine; "She ain't a hahd woman to look at.".
That brown mop on her head is particularly fetchin', ain't it?
Somehow I dont' think that a lot of guys in here would have a hard time tracking the tracker.
Could be kind of fun, actually.
Here's a thought; let's see if Sen. C. will make an appearance at Old Orchard Beach; seeing that tracker in a bikini might be well worth the price of admission! 8)
'cept you'd have to look past all the men from Quebec in their Speedos to see her bikini. No, thank you.
:shock:
The tracker that they had following Chandler was much better looking.
I had one unnamed reporter tell me he would not write about the tracker because he liked that she showed up at all our events. :D
Ah... the pure and abiding selflessness of Maine's intrepid media forces...
:P
...And one time, when the tracker had to stay home
and finish her homework, TOM ALLEN went instead:
What a great picture!
What’s the difference between a “tracker†and a “stalker�
I’m sure a tracker is not going to have papers affiliating them with a camping or have a private investigators license.

Appearing at public events of a public figure and simply observing would not constitute stalking.
This should really be an intriguing story for any newspaper or TV station. It has many elements -- not just politics but also mystery, sex, and even humor -- that attract the public's eye. A savvy media outlet sure could have a ball with this.
It should be easy to ascertain the facts. Track down the tracker and find out who she is. Then ask her what she's doing. Or call the Allen campaign and ask them.
If this sexy lady actually is a tracker, the campaign has egg on its face, because she must be slinking around seeking out gaffes that could be incorporated into sound bites for campaign commercials. What other kind of information could she be trying to record?
Since there's no law against tracking and if it is just an innocent ploy, why all the disguises?
This a legitimate news story and -- if true -- it's something the Allen camp brought on itself. Political tracking may not be illegal but it certainly is smarmy, and the fact it is being used in Maine (again) is news.
The big question is, will any media outlet pick it up and run with it?
If I were the candidate, I'd have someone tracking the tracker. Nothing like a little public attention and a camera in your face to get you all uncomfortable when you are trying to do the same to someone else. The hunter becomes the hunted.
Additionally, when did we establish that this young lady was "sexy"? I'd be more than happy to write the dissenting opinion for that assertion!
I agree with mediadog. Tracking is shady.
Perhaps Apollo can offer a judgment on the degree of sexiness. He seems to be the AMG expert.
No. Apollo's judgment on such matters is poor. He thinks Pat Lamarche is attractive.
I have to agree with Dan. At least this tracker had the sense to wear a Red Sox hat. Could've been worse. Sorry, but this girl does not fall into the "attractive" range. She should stick with the brunette wig, though, and def lose the glasses. And of course, not support Tom Allen or the D's.
Dan's right. Chandler's tracker looked like a movie star! Here's a picture of the tracker from the AMG archives.

Hellenistic trackers on the Chandler campaign…Hmmm interesting :) :)
Hellenistic??? What about The Bangles?
I’m thinking that an appearance of Saturday Night Lives Roxbury Guys would be a deterrent to a tracker, once they started dancing with her to club music. :shock:
Michael B. Dumas Tracking the tracker, as you say putting a mic in her face or camera probally would have no effect.
The story is not really her, look at the Obama story, with the guy being a media person and the pledge. People like this should be treated as Just the Facts, who sent you, Who are you working for, ect.
This person might just be a Collins junkie, or someone that has fun with politics.
To be truthful, cameras are everywhere. (ask Crammer).
Dont worry too much about the her specifically, then contact Allen and Boom ask them to add to the story.
