She'll probably go the way of Evan Bayh.

Bemoan partisanship and corruption in our government, then take a job that depends on and profits wildly from both.

It seems counter productive to complain about the lack of something one represents, and then quit, thereby enhancing that lack.

People are sick of it. Non-political people I should say. Political people live for attacking each other. Just look at the Outpost.

There has been nothing moderate about her voting record over the past couple of years. She moved to the far right and kept in lock step with her party. Yes, she still talked the moderate game, but she sure as hell didn't vote it.

I suspect she simply got sick of voting time after time for crap she knew was crap....but couldn't find a way not to support because her parties leaders forced her to support it.

Good riddance.

I wouldn't call her a moderate. I'd call her a stealth Democrat who couldn't fool anyone anymore.
