Another Victim to Knownothingness--Olympia Snowe

Olympia Snowe, Maine's senior senator, announced today she was retiring. Attacked constantly by conservative Republicans of being a RINO, Olympia Snowe in more recent days came out against the Blunt Amendment, which would have allowed employers to discriminate against women in health care coverage. Olympia Snowe told the Washington Post that she did not anticipate a change in the make-up of the Senate and could not envision running for her fourth term. Previously, she had served in the House and served on the intelligence committee.

Earlier in the Obama Administration she provided one of the few key Republican votes to break filibusters.
