  • snowe for pres or v.p. forget palin, palin is RNC puppet, snowe has a real resume and a brain!

  • snowe for v.p. forget palin

  • I live in Maine and Olympia snowe and collins have done absolutely nothing for us! we are as in debt as yesterday and as jobless as ever. Burn in hell snowe!! with bush and mccain!!

  • @lankey32 Your state's economy is not necessarily under influence of this senator. Look to you governor and state assembly before you make this kind of comments!

  • if ms. snowe ran in 2012 i would seriously consider voting for her.

    her common sense and professionalism are hard to ignore,plus she doesn't spout the hatred the rest of her party seems to have.

    with people like limbaugh and glen beck talking for the right, i'm happy to say i voted democrat and will remain .

  • olympia snowe 2016!

  • John Mccain didn't choose Olympia Snowe because she wasn't as 'photogenic' as Sarah Palin. Olympia Snowe seems like a hard working, experienced stateswoman working for the common good. She just did not appeal to the fundamentalist ideological bigots with her sensible, quiet professionalism.

  • What the heck does gay marriage has to do with government.....The Republican party pride themselves of being the party of less government, but at the same time they want to restrict sexual tendencies and they want to shove Christian values down everybody's throat. I am a Christian, but I believe in the total separation of church and state, and so did our founding fathers.

  • @aclopezestrada How is Snowe a moderate? Because she supports abortion, gay rights, $1 trillion stimulus plans... What a joke! She is also a warmonger and there is nothing moderate or fiscal conservative in warmongering

  • @xaviqaz Why in the world wouldn't you support gay rights unless your a homophobe?

  • The Republicans need more reasonable moderates like Sen. Snowe instead of the more radical neoconservatives and fundamentalists currently in charge of the party. Personally I don't care for Snow's politics, but she seems like an earnest person with whom I can disagree civilly.

  • This woman is a traitor to America and is no different than Nancy Pelosi.

    "Republican" my ass. Who cares what she has to say about Republicans?

  • The Olympia Snowe is the only Republican with a brain.

  • RINO Traitor!!

  • Big mistake on McCain's part. He handed the election to Obama when he chose Palin over Snowe.

  • Her father was a Spartan. No wonder she knows how to kick arse.

  • If this woman looked like Palin, it would be McCain/Snowe for the next 4 years.

  • she didnt look as good as Palin the republican base would not have beeen excited. she was not as young either.

    Palin has a freshness about her, however that may not work longterm.

  • Smart woman! i like her. No surprise then why she's not running for president.

  • Snowe's not a gimmick. That's why McCain didn't pick her.

  • Why couldn't it have been McCain/Snowe???

    If McCain really wanted a running mate with two brain cells to rub together, he would have chosen Olympia Snowe!

  • Snowe voted with Bush and the GOP even less than McCain did. He had to pick a staunch conservative or else the right base would have bailed on him.

  • Ms Snowe really is a lovely gal, my favorite Republican or sorts. She has a genuine care for the people and a ere of common sense about her. I cant for the life of me imagine why McCain picked Palin when he stressed Obama's inexperience in government. HELLO???

  • You are so right. There were so many Republican women he could have chosen. Sarah Palin is the most conservative of all Republican women though. He could have chosen Michele Bachmann, Linda Lingle, Olympia Snowe, Kay Bailey Hutchinson, so many others as well.

  • I see his strategy. He was vying for all the disenchanted Hillary supporters who wanted a woman in high power. Had he chosen a more moderate (and sensible) Republican woman, he might of had a better chance at winning.

  • He might have, but he might have alienated the Republican base. Kay Bailey Hutchinson is a moderate and is enormously unpopular in Texas. He was a moderate himself and he needed a more conservative person on the ticket. I am not sure if Senator Snowe is pro-life or pro-choice. I know Senator Collins is pro-choice. It is unfortunate that so many socially liberal people find it so hard to fit in to the Republican party, because most agree with the Republican philosophy of fiscal conservatism.

  • She's pro-choice.

  • snowe is one of the more pragmatic republicans in her party. mcbush had a brainfart not picking her....his loss!

  • McCain thought ENERGY woul be a huge factor in this election. At the time, it made sense to have a FEMALE/ GOVERNOR from an oil state.

    Problem was, she's a fucking airhead and is so boondock/ fringe/backwoods redneck that the average American voter isn't attracted to her. No one cares what you hunt and eat when their fuckin pension falls through the floor.

    Obama is surfing the waves of economic meltdown and the Republicans are the ones who caused it.

  • @whitecollarcriminal So True!

  • I agree she would have been the best pick  for Mc Cain VP,

  • Why didn't McCain pick her for VP? Or more interestingly, why isn't she the Presidential candidate for 2008?

  • The GOP would never have been able to find another Republican in Maine to hold on to her Senate seat.

  • I don't believe that Mrs. Snowe and Mccain don't like each other.

  • god i love snowe
