Dems Corner Snowe, Collins…

The Daily Beast

Looking for a little breathing room, Democrats are targeting Maine’s two centrist Republican senators, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, hoping they can attract them to vote for the coming health-care reform bill. President Obama sent a member of his cabinet, former Colorado Senator Ken Salazar, to meet with Collins. On Saturday, the Senate passed a vote to move forward with the health-care debate along party lines, 60-39. “I have ruled out voting for this bill, but I still very much want to vote for a bill and that is why I am continuing to have discussions,” Collins told The New York Times. “I still cling to the belief that it is possible for a group of us to come together and rewrite the bill in a way that would cause it to have greater support.”

Corner? Why? These two are already Democrats. Plus they love being used, makes ‘em feel like the good old days when they were USED quite a bit…Well, make that two-bits and they couldn’t even fill the jar up.
