Here’s her options: Does Olympia stick with the GOP once the Republicans are back in power and swing more to the right and hope she can win a tough re-election in 2012 like McCain, for she will be challenged?

Or will Snowe decide that the Tea Party targeting her for 2012 is too much to handle, she might want to remain a liberal, and she’ll be headed the direction of Mike Castle, Bob Bennett and Lisa Murkowski and lose so therefore she might as well leave the GOP now?

She has more time than the other to jump off now instead of as a last minute move in desperation.

Things have gotten to the point to where even everyone’s Darling, last January, Scott Brown will be challenged since he proved to be far less conservative than most expected.

When I envision these RINOs at the NRSC complaining about the Tea Party, this is the picture that comes to mind...



There is absolute fear! (Olympia Snowe is in the head scarf)

"Things have gotten to the point to where even everyone’s Darling, last January, Scott Brown will be challenged since he proved to be far less conservative than most expected."

OK, you lost me there. Brown is BY FAR the most popular politician in the entire state of MA. His nomination by the Republican party for reelection is as close to a guarantee as anything is in politics. He's not less of a "darling" now, in MA, he's even more of a Darling. As other politicians in MA have fallen in popularity this year, Brown has skyrocketed.
