Maine Independent Goes Back to Democrats

January 4th, 2006

On January 4, one of the Maine independent legislators, Joanne Twomey, changed back to the Democratic Party. She gave an emotional speech on the house floor saying she is reluctant to return, but since the Democrats needed her to keep their majority in the House, she did so.

    Interesting…I wonder what bone they threw her to come back?

    She wasn’t too independent and can’t be too reluctant if she cares about the democrat’s majority.
