It's up to Olympia Snowe. She'll either come around, or she'll be the ex-Senator from Maine. I'm sure at least as many Maine (R)'s have switched their registration from (R) to (D) or (I) as have Spectre's voters in Pennsylvania.

Oh, oh.......Rush says McCain must leave the GOP too. I wonder who else he will fire. <g> Limbaugh to Specter: Please take McCain with you Posted: 08:30 PM ET From CNN's Rebecca Sinderbrand Limbaugh did concede the downside of Specter's defection. (CNN) — Conservative host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday he isn't sorry to see Arlen Specter leave the GOP — and that many Republicans wish the Pennsylvania senator would take a few others with him when he goes. "A lot of people say, 'Well, Specter, take [Sen. John] McCain with you. And his daughter [Meghan]. Take McCain and his daughter with you if you're gonna…" he told listeners, dissolving in laughter. "…..It's ultimately good. You're weeding out people who aren't really Republicans," he said. Limbaugh did concede the downside of Specter's defection. "It makes the Senate essentially as big a slam dunk for Obama and the Democrats as the House of Representatives already is," he said. Earlier this month, Specter said Limbaugh did have a tendency to make "provocative" statements, but told radio host Howard Stern he didn't have a problem with the conservative talker. "Do I like Limbaugh?… yeah, I like him," he said then. UPDATE: Late Tuesday afternoon, Meghan McCain fired back on Twitter. "RED TIL I'M DEAD BABY!!! I love the republican party enough to give it constructive criticism, I love my party and sure as hell not leavin!" politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com
