Re: Olympia Snowe:

She suggested a "trigger" for health care reform.   For her trouble, she was called a traitor by some in her party. And her idea was rejected by the Democrats--especially liberals.

Even Scott Brown's honeymoon is now over---in record time.   Since his own true believers consider him a traitor for supporting the recent jobs bill.

There's not much incentive, it seems, for Republicans to work with Democrats on anything.

There are "true believers" all over the political spectrum. And they brook no compromise.
