Of course she will.
No matter what the left says, the Republicans ARE a “Big Tent” party.

That’s all they needed. It’s “bipartisan” now.

Olympia Snowe says ... "When history calls, history calls," I think she means, "When deficits call, deficits call. As for individual freedom ... not a priority."
