Democrats are mounting a new effort to chart a path for Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) to switch parties, the National Journal reports Wednesday.
Sen. Snowe appears a smart target for Democrats. A moderate Republican who occasionally sides with Democrats, Snowe faces an increasingly difficult road to reelection in 2012, especially with the rising conservative tide that is now lapping at the shores of -- or perhaps flooding -- the Pine Tree State.
In a state with two moderate Republican senators and two Democratic U.S. representatives, the Republican wave last week provided passage for Tea Party-backed gubernatorial candidate Paul LePage, a boisterous and controversial small-town mayor, to become Maine's next Governor (with the campaign help of Snowe, no less).

I’d like to see Snowe gone because with Liberman she is central to the creation of the police state that is being put into place. She funnels money to the new police industrial complex and actively spoils the Bill of Rights.
If only the people in Maine rally knew what she was doing all these years in Washington they would never vote for her, but she makes sure a little federal money trickles into the state to appease the state media and so the people never really know the truth.
