1. She's a Republican. That's enough.
She takes her orders from Limbaugh. They all do now.

2. She has been bought and paid-for by the insurance industry and does their bidding
that's the bottom line

3. Yes she wanted a trigger for the public option

Then there was no public option and in December she said her objection was that they "were rushing the bill through"

Her positions are so well documented that they write their own commercials.

She should have tremendous problems getting re elected

I think the reason that she turned was that she was more afraid of a primary opponent, look at McCain.

8. She'll have no trouble getting re-elected
They love her here in Maine. Lots of stoopid here. Lots.

Now she can claim she couldn't support it because there wasn't a public option or a trigger.
