What was Cantwell's deal?

[dghll]

In Wikpedia it says


"Many feel in early 2006 Maria Cantwell crossed the line from Democrat to Democrat in name only (DINO) when she discussed with ultra-conservative Judge Samuel Alito a deal which she made good on, when she voted to abandon a filibuster by the Democratic party and voted with the Republican members of the senate for cloture..."


What was her price?






ps. she is pro-choice, but catholic. Hows that work?

1. Maria Is Done as Senator this November

She will lose either to a REP or to Mark Wilson which sadly is better than her having 6 more years.....Id rather know that I have a PUG serving me than someone saying they are a DEM and acting like a PUG.

5. Maria has much more money - thanks to Clinton

2. Maria Cantwell tries too hard to be the perfect moderate...

her constituants are fairly conservative even though she comes from a blue state. Washington's turn to red was too close for comfort. She really doesn't act religious enough to be a republican, but she likes casino money, so she stays really swingy...like pasties.

I'm personally going to support any democrat that runs against her. Unless that person is a total load, then I'll have to look back and see whether she's worth it.
