Several of those "RINO'S" have said that the nominee would have to be EXTREME for them to allow a filibuster. Owens or Brown et al, would not be in that category. They would bolt the gang, and we'd go "nucular". Not to mention the pressure they would get from their constituents. Arlen Spector had to basically apologize so he could be Chairman again. That happened because of pressure from US.

Those Senators would not be my first choice as foxhole buddies, but they all have one thing in common. They want to get re-elected.

Like hell. Any clear literalist like Brown would be extreme to them.

Nope. The RINOs left that door open for them.

Oh, yeah, sure, the citizens of Maine will rise up against Snowe and Collins to toss them out of office for opposing JRB.

What IS the color of the sky on your planet?

Yeah, and he's got six more years and probably won't run again. And Specter aint' the problem here anyway.

And they are mostly from RINO-prone states.
