Senator Olympia Snowe is a moderate Republican on the Senate Finance Committe (the committee that will be debating any proposed Social Security reforms) and is running for reelection in 2006.
A few days ago she spoke to the Portland Press Herald:
"I don't think there's any consensus on what the problem is or the extent of the problem," said Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine and a member of the Finance Committee that will debate the issue. "I have serious concerns about undermining the fundamental principles of the Social Security Trust Fund."
...
Snowe focused on the risks of stock investment. In what she called "an inherent contradiction," advocates on the one hand suggest investment is the way to win a better return, but on the other hand, consider it too risky for the government to pursue.
She's on the fence here, wary of Bush's plan, and in a position to do something about it.
