I wonder if they think Barack Obama is a "Bush clone":

Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine, who for 33 years in Congress has personified an increasingly unfashionable Republican centrism, said she won't seek re-election, taking a final shot at the Senate's partisanship.
"I do find it frustrating...that an atmosphere of polarization and 'my way or the highway' ideologies has become pervasive in campaigns and in our governing institutions," she said Tuesday.
The decision, which took members of both parties by surprise, transforms this year's battle for the Senate. Democrats hold a 53-47 advantage in the chamber. But because they have to defend 23 seats to the Republicans' 10, most analysts have said the GOP has a good shot at retaking the Senate.

Silver lining, we now have a much better chance at scooping up Michaud’s House seat. The 2010 nominee (who some polls showed in the lead but it wasn’t that close) Jason Levesque is running against as is Senate President Kevin Raye who was the 2002 nominee for the then open seat. Raye might switch to the Senate race. Another State Senator, Debra Plowman is also running. Michaud’s replacement as rat nominee is probably House Minority leader Emily Cain.
Wow both congressman and the former Governor, state rats have been waiting for this.
I think the rats will probably win the Senate seat but it’s far from the certainty that many news articles claim it is.
There is a lot of room in between a real conservative and a moderate democrat like Snowe. Raye for example falls somewhere in there.
A couple statewide officers (appointed by the leg), are also mentioned as possible GOP candidates.
Snowe was NEVER “my” RINO, thank God.
And then there’s the first Mr. Snowe, Pete Snowe. Olympia started her political career by being appointed to fill his seat in the Maine legislature after he died in a car crash. Think it was sometime in the 70s.
So the standard is you have to be photographed with Palin and then you’re all right? LOL.
I’d like to keep that seat’s organizational vote but I feel not the slightest pang of wistfulness for yellow Snowe.
Global warming? LOL.
Came in dumb!
Leaving dumber!

thanx for the ping, imp.
Maine was in a tizzy last month when I was there due to the primary against Snowe .... now it is a free-for-all. Rural politics, nothing beats it.
LOL.
Better if you just listen so you don’t have to look at her.
Good Riddance
Bottom line is we will need in IN to work 2x as hard to retire RINO Lugar
Man Palin could have had it all , the presidency ,saved America etc.
