Angus King continues to make the rounds in Washington, one week after he defeated five opponents to win Olympia Snowe's senate seat by a convincing margin. Monday, he met with senator Snowe during his first day in Washington since the election. He met with senator Collins who will soon be Maine's senior senator.
They talked about committee assignments and working together to better represent Maine. Both say they've had a long-standing, positive relationship, going back to King's time as governor and even to the 1994 gubernatorial election when King defeated Collins and democrat Joe Brennan.
King is widely assumed to be caucusing with the democrats, but both Collins and King say that's not a done deal, and not the most important thing.
