As Maine goes, so goes DEM chances

Snowe, no fan of AHIP report

Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), on the controversial AHIP report: "It wasn't based on any valid assumptions." 

Senators would continue to look at the affordability of the health insurance as they move through the process, she said before the Finance Committee convened. But she said she trusted CBO's word over a report commissioned by AHIP and conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers.

 The vote ...
Speaking from the Rose Garden late Tuesday afternoon, President Obama hailed the Senate Finance Committee for passing a health care reform bill and singled out Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) for showing "the political courage and the seriousness of purpose that she has demonstrated throughout this process." - (politico)
 The consequences ...

A stamp of approval from Snowe could also clear the way for other Republicans, such as Senators Susan Collins of Maine and George Voinovich of Ohio, to back the effort. Collins joined with Snowe to support Obama’s economic-stimulus package in February, and Voinovich has been pegged as a possible Republican vote for a health-care overhaul by lawmakers including his fellow Ohio senator, Democrat Sherrod Brown.

Collins, 56, said she would be “very interested” in Snowe’s decision, though she said it wouldn’t determine her vote as she goes through her own evaluation. (Bloomberg)


GOP ROT
 Independent?  I think addlepated.

Snowe, Collins and Voinovich, Traitors to the Nation but None of them Represent Me in my State.

Mad Max Baucus is a Montana Resident but he is busy in DC giving the Kenyan a BJ. I never voted for him but will pay for the rope to hang him.

I don't really expect a result or even a response, but I wrote Mitch McConnell today and asked him to expel Collins from the Senate Republican caucuses. Told him she could sit on a back bench with Specter, the other opportunist turncoat, and they could swap lies.

Don't forget Arlen Specter. Traitor, turncoat and all-around despicable douch nozzle.

Airdale: It ain't Specter's first time on that rodeo ... he was originally a democrat.

The Dems called him Specter the Defector back in the Sixties.

OH, and it wasn't History talking to Snowe ....

I am a Montanan, not born there but raised there from age 4, and I completely agree with the Old Trooper about Baucus. He has been living off the government dole for at least 30 or more years. Trooper, I will donate to the purchase of the rope.
