Beg to differ. McCain will be joined accross the aisle by the usual suspects: Hegel, Snowe, Collins, Spector.
I thought Chuck Hagel retired and let his wife endorse Obama... Am I wrong?
If so, I said in another thread (perhaps about Franken/Coleman) that no matter the Democrat count in the Senate...56, 57, 58...they still have their 60 "super majority" with Specter, Collins, Snowe, Hagel, Warner and more who voted consistently with them. Is Lincoln Chafee and Jim Jeffords "formers" now? What about Mitch McConnell and George Voinovich, are they RINOS?
It would be good to have a list of the current RINOS when the dust settles for us to keep track. In Virginia, retiring RINO John Warner was replaced by liberal Democrat Mark Warner, so no RINOS left for Virginia. We are officially a "Blue State" no like our neighbors: Pennsylvania and North Carolina.
Add McCain’s good friends Senator Lindsey Grahamnisty and Senator Mike DeWine to the RINO list. Is DeWine still in the Senate? I’m sure John Warner is not and pretty sure Lincoln Cahfee is not.
Hagel is an ex-Senator come January.
