Closer to Susan Collins and than Olympia Snowe would be my guess. But he’ll much more conservative than Linc Chafee, Jim Jeffords, Ed Brooke, Jacob Javits, James Stafford, Leverett Saltonstall(who was actually a rather conservative governor), Clifford Case, Mac Mathias or Henry Cabot Lodge. Perhaps a John Heinz moderate that conservatives could play ball with.
I have an idea. Let’s see what he does as a United States senator before we start trying to predict. He’s going to be voting on national legislation – not Massachusetts state legislation. They’re very different. Lets wait and watch.
I’m just thrilled that he beat Coakley soundly and his campaign theme was that he was the 41st vote to stop national health care legislation.
Is there not any other Republicans or Conservatives running against Snowe & Collins? We do not need anyone as liberal as these two. They are such bad at being Republicans & I sometimes think Collins go to visit Obama as much as she did that she must be getting special favors. Snowe I just really do not understand either one of them but we need a strong Conservative that will not vote for what they think is right but what their constituents want them to vote on. The have got to listen to their people, not to Obama who is out to hurt all Americans & America. He is coming out of socialism & moving into Communism in fast forward. His goal is destroy America & Americans & our Constitution, Bill of Rights & the Declaration of Independence. He is in bed with all of the Unions which is helping to bring down our country.

The Dems deserved to be beaten. Now let’s see whether they have the spine to recover.
