Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), one of the Senate’s only true centrist Republicans, caused “nothing short of a political earthquake” on Tuesday by announcing that she won’t seek re-election this fall. Snowe says she can no longer be productive amid the “atmosphere of polarization and ‘my way or the highway’ ideologies” in Washington (can you blame her?). Her departure plans caught everybody off-guard, especially her Republican colleagues, who have been working hard to seize control of the Senate. Democrats now have a prime chance to pick up a Republican seat in blue Maine. How much will Snowe’s retirement hurt the GOP?

That’ll offset Ben Nelson. Now both parties have someone they can say “good riddance” to. There’s a rumor out there that she may join former Democratic Senator David Boren on the bipartisan Americans Elect ticket.

If that’s the case, both parties will have reason to hate her.

in a cool, green ohi'a forest
in the land of hula,
