1. Why would they do that? They have more influence if they
remain repugs. If Kerry had won we might have flipped Snowe, Collins, Chaffee, but not now.

7. Well some may shift still
Chaffee for one is close I think

Spector would have been a huge candidate it he had not gotten his chairmanship but now its doubtful.

8. If the past 4 years haven't gotten those so-called "moderates" to jump,
then nothing will.

For all the tonguebaths Chaffee and the others get around here, they're just as much a part of the problem as Bill Frist and Trent Lott. Anyone who keeps the GOP in charge of congress is an accessory to all the crimes of their less-likeable fellow goopers.
