You guys are so lame. From nytimes.com Ten Republicans broke ranks with their party on the two impeachment articles against President Clinton. Five Northeastern moderates voted to acquit him on both perjury and obstruction of justice, while five conservatives voted to acquit him on perjury alone. The renegade votes affirmed what had been obvious in the Senate for years -- that a moderate brand of Republican still prevails in the industrial, union-based Northeast, while conservatives hold sway over the party across much of the rest of the nation. "We represent the mainstream Republican Party," Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine said Friday, a claim clearly open to challenge as one surveys the influx of conservatives into the upper chamber. Including Ms. Snowe, the five moderate senators were Susan Collins, also of Maine, John Chafee of Rhode Island, James Jeffords of Vermont and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania. The other five, who have no discernible common link, were Sens. John Warner of Virginia, Fred Thompson of Tennessee, Richard Shelby of Alabama, Slade Gorton of Washington and Ted Stevens of Alaska.
