Pre-Obama, I gather he was, though I know about nothing about him. I gather he was fairly moderate. What is partly baffling is that he isn't even running for re-election, so why flip so hard? but the 40 votes against pay-as-you-go says a lot. there is clearly a stranglehold held on the repubs from above (or below). and not name one program he would cut? and he wanted to sit on a commission about cuts in the budget? boggles the mind.

I really can only think of the two women from Maine right now from the repubs on the Senate side to sit on such a thing. not sure in the House, since am not familiar with a lot of them, but certainly no one from the leadership.
