Reply #47: 2 Repubs from Maine--Good ones.

[cyn2]

They are both "Moderate". Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins. Bush even ran a campaign against Snowe when she didn't "obey".

It was during the time after the Iraq war started. People throughout the country were dissing the French. Remember "Freedom Fries"?

Anyway, in order to pressure Snowe to comply, I think it was the tax cuts, Bush ran an ad with Snowe and Chirac on the screen together hoping to capitalize on the current xenophobia.

Upshot was, approximately 1/3 of the state of Maine is of French decent.

That was a good one. Something backfired on Rove's slimy tactics!
