She's hopping on the bandwagon. IF she could be part of a successful stoppage she'd vote no in a flash.

I expect this is the case too. She's not a Senator that anyone describe as "courageous".

Apparently, the political winds in Maine make it necessary for repubs to be a bit more liberal.

Snowe would have been sending the message that she is righteous but that Collins is unrighteous.
