Liberal states elect liberal conservatives. If enough conservative votes are pulled away from Snowe, the Democrat will win and we'll never get to the majority we need to stop this president. Allowing the Democrats to defeat Snowe or Collins is a fail for conservatives.
I think the story means that the ‘Tea Party’ candidate will challenge Snowe for the Republican primary. I don’t think he’s thinking Third Party, at least I hope not. Frankly, regardless that she’s a RINO, she’s one more R in the column when determining who sits in the Chairman’s seat on the Senate Committees.
What the hell is a liberal conservative?
Is that like some half-breed of conservative who has the hots for Hitlery, enjoys smoking pot in Biden's living room, and believes that Porkulus would have worked if only it had been bigger?
