German term or phrase: mE

This could be a very common abbreviation, but I haven't been able to find out its meaning elsewhere online so I'm asking here. Thanks in advance. Here is the context:

"Ein weißer Kandidat hat mE. weit mehr Chancen auf die Wechselwähler, auch hat ein älterer erfahrener Kandidat mehr Chancen bei republikanischen konservativeren Wechselwählern, und dazu kommt: Bill Clinton hat damals eine sehr gute Wirtschaftspolitik gemacht, das wissen die Leute, vor allem die Alten."

and also at:

"Obama wird es nicht schaffen, verdammt, er ist eine Wunschseifenblase, die mE von den Republikaneren bis zur Rauswurf Clintons eifrig genährt wird."

Thank you! I'm picking this answer because "imo" is an abbreviation like "mE" (if perhaps slightly more informal). The other response isn't wrong though. Thanks again.
