Collins & Snowe: Heroes or villains?

Maine GOP Senators Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe have made a huge national splash with their support for the economic stimulus package. But it's drawing mixed emotions from Republicans. Case in point: Rep. Bob Nutting, R-Oakland, said today during a discussion at the Statehouse that he's getting a lot of e-mails from constituents. The e-mails are "from people who want to support our Senators -- or hang them," he said. Snowe and Collins voted today in favor of the Senate version of the $838 billion package. We'll see what happens once it comes out of conference committee. So, what's your take on their support for the Obama plan? Are they doing good work on behalf of Mainers or are they selling out to the Democrats?
