Isn’t Collins up in 2012? This is where McConnell needs to sit her down and tell her if there is a more conservative candidate in the primary, she is getting tossed overboard. So what if a democrat wins the seat; what’s the difference?
With this move, Collins just neutered McConnell.
She, and the rest of the GOP Senate caucus, let alone the RATs, won’t take him seriously from now on.
