It’s Maine. A RINO is the best you’ll get.
The thing is I’m not so sure such a RINO is the best you’ll get for Maine. Massachusetts, of course. DADT, probably. But Maine went pretty much red in ‘10. Is there nobody better than Snowe to run up there for ‘12?
“It’s Maine. A RINO is the best you’ll get.”
Really. Why is that? My 86 year old father was born and raised in Maine but left after WWII to move the Okla. and marry my mother and raise a family. He is very conservative.
What happened to make Maine liberal? It isn’t a very populous state.
I really am curious. I haven’t been there myself since 1969. So, my memory of the people is very dated.

No, no no!
Look at Pennsylvania. We voted for RINO Specter in 2004 because of that kind of philosophy. And we paid for it for 6 years.
But in 2010, Specter’s gone. Lost to a conservative.
Maine can dump Snowe (and Collins too) and be better off for it, no matter what.
We elected a Tea Party conservative here in Maine on Nov. 2nd.
That being said, Snowe and Collins must go.
Even a RINO votes with the GOP once in a while.
Snowe seems to vote with the Dems 100% of the time. She's been a reliable vote for them for at least the last two years.
Maybe not. It all depends how well the TEApublican Governor/House/Senate perform by 2012.
Same with Brown in the Peoples Republic of Mass.
The best that you will get.
