Does she have a family and if so are they working on K Street or will they now...

Who Benefits. This Soro's thing looking for another way is disturbing, I am waiting to see a 3rd party POTUS candidate step in and really muck things up.

I find it strange that everyone is getting out, like rats leaving the sinking ship. I have a bad feeling about this

No matter the party in power, we are going to implode...probably sooner than later.

All these lifelong politicians (Rs and Ds) who helped set us up for the fall are leaving so they won't get hanged in the public square afterwards.

It’s basic math. We are going to collapse soon.

Moderates, who are moderates for a reason, take swift action for one reason and one reason only: to halt conservatives and help democrats.

Ron Paul just tied Romney in Maine. They’re attempting to halt a conservative tide and shore up the gates where they can. A democrat sitting in Snowe’s seat could deny a republican majority in the senate, and therefore assure Harry Reid’s oligarchic control.

Moderates always help democrats.

Olympia Snowe is the REASON we have Obamacare today. There had to be at least one Republican vote “yea” in committee for it to reach the floor. Without that single vote, Obamacare would have died in committee. She was the single Republican vote! That vote got us Obamacare!

She often votes with Reid. I beleive what Jesus said: “You’re either for me or against me”. With her, it depends on what day it is. I’m sick of rinos.

So am I, but I'm also sick of Harry Reid controlling the agenda.

I don't give a rip how this changes things or who gets to take credit, I'm just chuffed to bits this loser is GONE.

This is a major loss for you and you don't even realize it or care.

You are why Democrats succeed.

Good riddance to the witch who gave us Obamacare. I bet she was going to lose her primary. Obamacare is that unpopular, even in Maine

[ Snowe was a no vote on ObamaCare. ]

The witch could have killed it in committee, but voted it out. She then voted no on the final passage to save face. That is unforgivable. .

RE: Obamacare is that unpopular, even in Maine

But my bet is Maine still goes Obama in 2012 regardless.

I already see the following states as a lock for Obama regardless of how bad the economy goes (and their electoral votes):

NJ 15
NY 31
Connecticut 7 ,
Delaware 3,
Masschusetts 12,
Rhode Island 4
Vermont 3,
Maine 4,
Maryland 10
California 55 ,
Oregon 7,
Washington 11,
Illinois 21,
Hawaii 4,
DC 3

That’s 190 of the 270 needed to win right there.

You are so right. She is despicable, but then we already knew that.

You are most likely right. she is most likely doing this to help the Rats maintain their Senate majority. She always was a RINO.

Hopefully the current Governor of Maine will decide to run for the seat!

That’s my hope. He has quite a life story.
