The other Female anamatronic wind up RINO Senator from Maine has joined Sen. Snowe in performing her usual role in stabbing Republicans in the back whenever the going gets rough.

This is why RINOs need to be defeated in the Republican primaries to preempt such behavior.

She is, however, a descent person (no ethics issues), and a statesman (very polite when she makes a point). I don't like her votes; but, I like her. I think she was probably just exhausted from the committee stalemate and wanted to move the process forward. She will be the first Repub to cave on the final bill (if anyone caves). But, I think it is inevitable that the final bill will be enormous, full of that liberal stuff, and public option, etc. She'll probably not be able to vote for the final bill. Not that it matters. If there are 60 votes to end the debate.... it only takes a simple majority to pass it. 2010 and 2012 may end up being about repealing Obamacare.

The truth is the left does not like this bill anymore than the right does, and even Snowe said that she might very well not vote for it on the floor. It is one bill in one committee, there are something like 5 more. This moves the bill forward, a little, but not far enough. I think there is still a very good chance of killing this thing.

Watching the first drive while the Jet fans around us were ragging us that the Jet defense was going to shut us down and how Rex Ryan killed it last year in the playoffs was going to be a big bonus for them. I don't know if you got to see on tv the play where Jake Long pancaked Kris Jenkins, but for us to see the Jet fans faces and their mouths drop to their feet was awesome. Now if are DB's can make some plays we may have a chance to get to the playoffs. AJ: I was at the game yesterday and needless to say we were wowed by the wildcat.

Christie has just come off as a slightly less corrupt version of Corzine, so in a state where corruption is endemic, why not. The more openly conservative McDonnell looks to be doing very well. Don't get me wrong, I would much prefer that Christie win. But he's run one of the most pathetic campaigns in recent history, and it's showing.
