Oh, I dont know:

"Fifteen Senate moderates, led by Democrat John Breaux of Louisiana and Republican Olympia Snowe of Maine, circulated a letter urging that the House-Senate conference committee adhere closely to the Senate bill."

``I think he's doing it,'' said Sen. John Breaux, a moderate Louisiana Democrat who has teamed up with Jeffords on a number of tax and budget matters."

"Although Republicans blame the defections of two of their own moderate members for the defeat of a $1.6 trillion tax cut, Daschle held his moderates together. Out of a half dozen or more wavering moderates, in the end only one Democrat, Sen. Zel Miller, D-Ga., supported Bush's original proposal."

""We were listening, saying, how can we help?" said Sen. Lincoln Chafee (news - bio - voting record), R-R.I., who, other than Jeffords, is the most liberal-leaning Republican senator."
