The heat emanating from Harry Reid has not completely melted the Snowe up in Maine. She is now steadfast in her objection to the Public Option. Do not be afraid Harry of the Witch from the West. The Witch from the east has eaten your pumpkin this Halloween. Congratulations to Olympia who has just Snowed the Reid. 

Crestfallen, President of the Universe Olympia Snowe tut-tutted and shook her head sadly late this afternoon after Harry Reid announced that the Senate bill would include a public option:

 

“I am deeply disappointed with the Majority Leader’s decision to include a public option as the focus of the legislation,” Snowe said in a statement. “I still believe that a fall back, safety net plan, to be triggered and available immediately in states where insurance companies fail to offer plans that meet the standards of afford ability, could have been the road toward achieving a broader bipartisan consensus in the Senate."


Apparently the good people from the Pine Tree State have given Olympia the message, "your days are numbered if you go with the LIBS". And Olympia knows that the Winters in Maine are a lot colder than those in Washington D.C.
