* Olympia Snowe (R-Maine)

Nobody inflames the right wing of the GOP quite like Snowe, who voted for the President Obama’s health care bill in the Senate Finance Committee (although she opposed it in the full floor vote) and is often the first — and often only — Republican that Democrats recruit to try to pass their legislative priorities.

A recent poll from Public Policy Polling, a Democratic automated polling firm based out of North Carolina, showed just 29 percent of Maine Republicans say they would definitely support Snowe while 63 percent would prefer a more conservative alternative.

Though Maine is not known as a conservative state, the Republican base elected a tea party candidate in its governor’s primary this year, and that doesn’t bode well for Snowe.
