Michael Steele's back-and-forth flirtation with possible primary challenges to the party's pro-stimulus Republicans is now causing him to catch some real flak[...]
Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME), a pro-stimulus Republican who will be up for re-election in 2012, told Roll Call that she approached Steele about his comments and asked him bluntly: "You didn't really mean that, did you?" She said that Steele has agreed to set up a meeting with the three pro-stimulus GOPers to discuss this.
Two Women from Mainee
Mainers can be proud that their Senators are standing in the great tradition of Yankee independence of thought. IF the GOP were the moderate, reasonable party that it once was I ( who, long ago, held an office in the Maine College Republicans) might still be a Republican. Mainers should be proud of these women who are not threatened or intimidated by the party leadership. Kind of reminds one of Margaret Chase Smith, doesn't it? And that's a good thing.
