I’d trade Snowe for Lieberman right now, no questions asked.
I think Lieberman has principles, even if I may not agree with all of them. I think you could possibly even sell the man on the need for fiscal austerity in order to save the Republic.
On the other hand, if Snowe has any principles, she hasn’t demonstrated them in the Senate that I can ever remember.
I wouldn't.
I like Lieberman, but he is a consistent liberal vote. He has a lifetime ACU rating of 16.5%. The Sisters Maine are both right at 50%.
Snowe is much more "conservative" than Lieberman...but in Texas they would be considered liberal marxists (tenured professors).
