Sen. Olympia Snowe (R) Maine risking her Loud and Proud status in the Conscience Caucus?

Last week Snowe told the Washington Post that she was "certainly not going to support diverting $2 trillion from Social Security into creating personal savings accounts" and told the president that "she would be concerned about doing anything that would undermine the guaranteed benefit of Social Security."

But today, according to RawStory.com, Snowe's press secretary Preston Hartman says: “I wouldn’t say it’s fair to say that she’s against the president’s plan.”

“She’s cautious," says Hartman, "and she wants to examine all the options out there.”
