Olympia Snowe

[opebo]

We just had a nominee who was a moderate.

Hahaha, only in America.

But seriously, though McCain is an extreme rightist, he is moderate in the sense that he is somewhere in the middle of the GOP.  And, he lost.

But as for Olympia Snowe, she's going nowhere, least of all up.

No.

If anything, she's more so liberal than her fellow compatriot Susan Collins, serving alongside her as part of Maine's current Senatorial delegation. No moderate of her calibre will ever be nominated by the Republican Party during their current climate. End of story.

The sad thing is she's not moderate at all. She joined all of the other Senate Republicans in whining about how Democrats should be bipartisan.  "Bipartisan"  seems to be code for Democrats should do whatever Republicans want them to do. 

Congratulations for not only utterly failing to understand the difference between 'moderate' and 'partisan', but also failing to recognize that Snowe is indeed very much a moderate.  CQ.com says she's the least loyal to the Republican party line, at only 59% voting concordance. 

The key here is to note that she is a moderate for a Republican.
