Damn, the titles are short here. Anyway, we saw how pissed a lot of Republicans got when Snowe, Collins, and Specter voted for cloture on the stimulus bill. If they continue on this path (which Specter, at least, pretty much has to do in an increasingly blue Pennsylvania), will McConnell cut off his nose to spite his face and boot one or more from the caucus?
On a related note, will McConnell play chicken with Bunning? For those who are not aware, Bunning has threatened to resign (and thereby let Steve Beshear, the Democratic Governor of Kentucky appoint his replacement), if McConnell doesn't stop pushing him to retire or looking for someone to primary him. Bunning is probably just that crazy, but there's no way he can be reelected, especially with his anemic fundraising. What say you?
