I don’t know about only way out being democrats... one or both of them helped bring the whole Health Care bill to a vote and my friends up there are not forgiving on that note at all! Many still really ticked and joining the lawsuit now looks like the joke that it is — I think people are waking up all over, even in the great blue of Maine!
Good.
Not that “blue” anymore. We now have a Republican Gov.
"As the lone Republican on the Senate Finance Committee who voted to move the bill -- which at the time included an individual mandate (though Snowe made clear then that she didn't support that provision) -- to the full Senate last year, Snowe was the only Republican senator who supported the bill at any stage. She did not vote for final passage of the bill in March. Snowe and Collins are widely viewed as two of a dwindling number of GOP moderates remaining in Congress."
