It's occured to me that the most powerful people in Washington are now crossover Republicans

I'm sure it's been brought up here before but I have a feeling Specter, Snow and Collins are going to be deciding a lot of policy in the next couple of years...

1. So true. Thanks to the filibuster rule

At least they are moderate republics. Looks like the State of Maine now controls the nation. Maybe we'd better start being nice.

10. Gives new meaning to the old saying...

"As goes Maine, so goes the nation."

13. LOL

Maybe we should all vacation there to stimulate their economy. So they can tell their Senators it all works!

14. Great idea.

Take a break from the Wisconsin winter by going to Maine.

15. You guys have Feingold!

That oughta keep you warm!

[Jackpine Radical]

16. I don't see how.

Having Feingold is like having a Louis XV walnut bedstead. Too valuable to burn for heat.

2. I fear you are very correct--with an emphasis on "fear."

[old mark]

3. I wonder when that will occur to the rest of the Publicans.....

They are so fucking stupid, it might not, ever....

4. 2 yrs.. let's make it filibuster proof.

[tyne]

5. C'mon Franken

Get well Kennedy!

[glowing]

7. We need 1 for 2010 if we keep current people's in place.

Personally, I'd prefer to see some of these blue dogs go...

[mucifer]

8. Maybe with all the pressure from the right wingers one of the 3 will switch parties.

That is all we need. We have Kennedy. Franken is probably a few weeks away.

6. I was thinking the same thing....

At some point Reid has to make them filibuster or his reputation as a French Army General will be cemented for good.

All though it might be to late already.

9. That's progress: It used to be crossdressing Republicans

17. Daniel Schorr said they held the stimulus bill hostage, for $100 billion ransom ...
