The Washington Times reports:
Sen. Olympia Snowe, Maine Republican, said she will vote in favor of health care reform when the Senate Finance Committee votes Tuesday afternoon, making her the first member of her party to support President Obama’s effort to overhaul the $2.5 trillion industry.
“When history calls, history calls,” Ms. Snowe told reporters on Capitol Hill. “I happen to think the consequences of inaction dictate the urgency of Congress to take every opportunity … to solve the monumental issues of our time. There are many, many miles to go in this legislative journey.”
Ms. Snowe said she will vote with reservations “because I share my Republican colleagues’ reservations about what will transpire on the Senate floor and about what will emerge from House-Senate conference and how the finance committee bill will be merged” with the bill from the chamber’s Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee.
Ms. Snowe’s decision concludes much of the drama surrounding the legislation, which is expected to pass along party lines.
She has reservations, but is voting for this anyway. Great.











Snowe is one of the most useless wastes of skin and air around, she is a walking travesty..

She is a waste all around. She obviously has a gut feeling but will do the opposite anyway. What a turncoat.

Hmm, Lew, was it polite for me to call her a traitor to the USA? I believe she’s up for reelection in ’10.
