People say it can't be done. I disagree. I think if we work our asses off, we can replace Olympia Snowe. Who better than a real progressive. The candidate is Eric Mehnert!
When asked about the Iraq War by our very own AnthonySF, Mehnert said, "I mean, isn't it the greatest hypocrisy for an army to come in and 'establish' democracy? That's like asking the IRS to do your taxes." This is quite different from the response you'd get from war hawk Olympia Snowe, senator from a state where Bush has only 37% approval.

Eric Menhert would have voted no on Samuel Alito's appointment to the Supreme Court. He is truly pro-choice, unlike Olympia Snowe.

On the environment, from 1997 to 2004, Olympia Snowe has accumulated a 64% average from the LCV. We deserve better than a senator who supports environmental rape over a 1/3 of the time. Such a senator would be Eric Mehnert, a true protector of nature.

By checking the Congressional Quarerly, you'll see that Olympia Snowe has voted 82% of the time with Bush[/bold]. Let's replace her with a real progressive or atleast fight.
