If you figure out a way to bring the likes of John McCain, Mike DeWine, Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, Chuck Hagel, Lindsey Graham, Arlen Specter etc. into the ranks of those willing to vote for the "nucular" option please let me know.
Conservatives have about as much influence over Olympia Snowe as Jacques Chirac has on JimRob.
