Snowe is the woman with clout on health care

"Snowe stands as the woman with the most clout in Washington, poised at the intersection of ambitious efforts to change the nation's system of medical care amid competing political forces. If she votes with the Democrats, Obama could secure the biggest win of his young presidency. If she sticks with her Republican colleagues, it could prove as devastating to the president as the blow dealt to former President Bill Clinton in the 1990s when his health care package failed..."

Interesting profile of one of the best people in Congress and the Senator I admire the most. RINO's RULE!

I used to like Snowe. I might still do, I don't know. But if I'm reading the information on the Snowe trigger correctly, it's never actually going to trigger, and if that's actually the case, she earns my ire, not my respect. I confess to finding the wording and workings of the trigger somewhat convoluted, and I haven't had a lot of time to study it in depth, but initially it doesn't exactly look great.

We don't need Senators pretending to be for health care reform when they're actually out to kill it. Have the courage of your convictions to actually come out for or against, instead of doing wetwork behind the scenes.
