You people are ridiculous.
If Collins and Snowe are not re-elected, they will be replaced by communists.
Would you rather have Jeffords (R) or Sanders (S)?
Would you rather have Chaffee (R) or Whitehouse (C)?
Specter's replacement is going to be a black Marxist.
Collins was just reelected. Snowe will have no problem getting reelected and we will have trouble holding on to PA unless voter fraud is brought under control.
You are correct.
Collins and Snowe live in Maine, not Vermont/Rhode Island.
Collins and Snowe are safe from a primary challenge. Republicans are practically an unknown commodity in New England.
In fact, only seven people have been elected at either the congressional district or statewide level and currently serve in that role in all of New England:
Jodi Rell (R-CT)
Michael Fedele (R-CT)
Don Carcieri (R-RI)
Jim Douglas (R-VT)
Brian Dubie (R-VT)
Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
Susan Collins (R-ME)
What's the difference?
