This does not appear to be a woman who has been seduced very often
The New York Times is currently creating merriment with some the most disingenuous praise uttered since, “Gee, you don’t sweat much for a fat girl.”
We’re talking about the left’s wining and dining of Maine’s Republican Senator Olympia Snowe. As the Times remarks, “The significance of the Obama-Snowe relationship lies not in the prospect that the president will replicate it with many, or even any, other Republicans. To achieve his objectives, Ms. Snowe may be the only Republican he needs.”
For her part, Snowe seems quite enamored with the President and “… she offered a surprisingly robust endorsement of Mr. Obama’s skepticism about expanding government too much, his willingness to accommodate different views and his assertion that Washington must act now after decades of failure.”
The Times admitted that Mr. Obama and his team began cultivating Ms. Snowe even before he took office in January. “He’s always eliciting my views,” she said, “wondering, you know, what my concerns are.” How sweet.
Snowe also stated that “she has maintained traditional Republican principles over 30 years in Washington, while her party has moved past them to the right.”
Well, sure, if by traditional Republican principles you mean support for abortion and backing Obama on TARP funds and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Rest assured that the New York Times is like that creepy guy from high school. It will drop Snowe as soon as it gets what it wants from her.

Ahhhhh, Senator Snowe. Her convictions are nonexistent. I have never been fully capable of understanding exactly WHAT the fine people of Maine are voting FOR when they elect her. Can’t they find a better candidate hanging around the dog beds at LL Bean?
