It looks like Montana’s junior Senator, Jon Tester, will be spending part of his vacation in Maine this week.

He is scheduled to campaign for Rep. Tom Allen on Friday, September 5. Allen is running against Republican Susan Collins. In an August 15 poll, Collins leads Allen 55-40.

The press release announcing the “event” concludes with:

And bring an extra pocket to give to Sen. Tester – I’m tired of seeing the photo of him wearing that jacket that is missing one. Have fun!

Ouch. Now that’s respect.
