Okay, Harry Reid obviously offered something to Olympia Snowe, some kind of exemption for the state of Maine, and she either passed it along to Collins or maybe the deal was sweetened if Collins went along, too?

There was no sweetener needed because both collins and snowe are dyed in the wool liberals.

They just “play” Republican when needed.

I was wondering how soon it would be before the other half of this set of political twins would chime in.

Collins

Snowe

One of them is actually uglier than the other, but don't waste your time (and appetite) looking at the photos to decide which.

The eventual Central Data Center and Records Clearinghouse for the Single Player Public Option plan of the future (and 20,000 Unionized bureaucrat jobs) will be located in Crabapple Cove, Maine

I posted long before:

I expect Lindsay Graham, Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, John McCain, and George Voinovich, at a minimum, of Republicans who will vote for Socialized Medicine.

I'm afraid there will be more, too, as handouts for their votes and/or threats to smear them with old FBI file data will be used to "win them over".

Socialized Medicine is a DONE DEAL, folks, it's gonna get real ugly in the streets REAL soon.

Obama’s poll numbers enjoying a sudden spike in the past week. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. Oh wait, Rassmussen isn’t showing a boost. I guess he must just be an outlier. How odd...

I think these two went through the garden hose up the nose torture treatment and it effected their brains.

You didn’t even have to put her name in the title, even without it, anyone would have guessed who it was referring to.
