[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found this interesting:  Susan Collins has never once missed a vote.

Americans hate Congress, often with good reason, but not all Members are scoundrels or social-media performance artists. So allow us to recognize Maine Sen. Susan Collins for casting what later this week will be her 10,000th vote in a row.

As we write this on Wednesday, the five-term Republican had cast 9,982 consecutive votes without missing a roll call since she took office in January 1997. That is an extraordinary record by any measure, and as far as we know it hasn’t been matched.

Did they note that she originally pledged to only serve two terms?[/quote]

She did say that, and she’s never denied it. But guess what? The VOTERS keep electing her! So obviously the majority of the Maine electorate who vote in senate elections are okay with her having broken that pledge and stuck around to give Maine a powerful voice in Congress as only a senior senator can do.
