Snowe should go Indy now, or January.
She wouldn’t win the primary, but if she just goes indy, she could get 40% possibly in the general.
Republicans like her, and Bloomberg when he claimed to be one, and Lindsey Graham and Mike Castle, are in effect lying about who they are in order to be elected. They are progressives, but due to electability reasons, or due to their family history (e.g., Lincoln Chafee), they make a decision that they need to run as Republicans. If they were honest, they would just run as Democrats, because that's what they are. They are only slightly more moderate than a typical Democrat.
But they don't, and simply because they accept the (R) label next to their name, other RINO elitists like Rove and McCain and Krauthammer tell us conservatives must support them. We don't buy that line of garbage any more.
