Courting Olympia Snowe, Democrats Go Over the Top
In an effort to obtain the 60th vote they need to pass a health bill, Democrats are courting Olympia J. Snowe, Republican Senator of Maine. Snowe, the Republican viewed as the most vulnerable to flattery, did not endorse the plan on Wednesday, though she is talking to Democrats, “I probably shouldn’t have given them my number; it started out innocently enough; then as I recall I got those facebook friend requests; next thing I know I am getting text messages night and day and strange packages showing up on my door with poetry and chocolates. I appreciate the attention I am receiving but after the 59th bouquet of flowers I had to ask them to stop. This is embarrassing.”
