More on Olympia Snowe
Description from Wikipedia:
Olympia Jean Bouchles Snowe (born February 21, 1947) is the senior United States Senator from Maine.
A moderate Republican, Snowe has become widely known for her ability to influence close votes and Senatorial filibusters, in part making her one of the most influential modern U.S. Senators.
In 2006, she was named one of "America's Top Ten Senators" by Time Magazine. Congressional Quarterly noted that her presence at the negotiating table in the 107th Congress was "nearly a necessity." Her political popularity in her home state is the highest of any current U.S. Senator; as of November 22, 2006, she enjoyed a 79 percent approval rating in her home state of Maine.
