PORTLAND, Maine (The Blaze/AP) — Maine’s U.S. Sen. Olympia Snowe says she’s not running for re-election.
The three-term senator’s campaign office issued a statement Tuesday afternoon that was confirmed by her campaign manager. The Republican senator said in the statement that she was confident she would’ve won re-election but said she was frustrated by “an atmosphere of polarization and ”my way or the highway ideologies.”
This Democratic Republican won't be missed. I only wished there was a chance of replacing this New England RINO with some semblance of a conservative, and there very well could be, but I've learned not to hold my breath with New England politics. Anyway, good riddance...now, if only her twin would follow suit!
UPDATE: Rush says Republicans panicking over Snowe's retirement is laughable, via theRightScoop, "With her in it, we never had it!"
