Bipartisan It Ain't

Sen. Collins' June donation to Sen. Ted Stevens (R-AK) underscores just how loyal a Republican the junior senator has been--even at her own ethical peril.

But look at the full list of contributions made by her PAC this cycle:

McCain, John (R) $2,500
Alexander, Lamar (R-TN) $5,000
Barrasso, John A (R-WY) $5,000
Chambliss, Saxby (R-GA) $10,000
Coleman, Norm (R-MN) $10,000
Corker, Bob (R-TN) $5,000
Cornyn, John (R-TX) $5,000
Dole, Elizabeth (R-NC) $10,000
Domenici, Pete V (R-NM) $5,000
Enzi, Mike (R-WY) $5,000
Graham, Lindsey (R-SC) $10,000
Inhofe, James M (R-OK) $10,000
McConnell, Mitch (R-KY) $5,000
Roberts, Pat (R-KS) $10,000
Schaffer, Bob (R-CO) $5,000
Sessions, Jeff (R-AL) $7,500
Smith, Gordon H (R-OR) $10,000
Stevens, Ted (R-AK) $10,000
Sununu, John E (R-NH) $10,000
Talent, James M (R-MO) ($1,000)
Biggert, Judy (R-IL) $2,000
Summers, Charles E (R-ME)$5,000
Whitman, Kate (R-NJ) $2,000
Maybe you notice a pattern?

In fact, a quick scan of Collins' entire contribution history reveals not a single contribution to a Democrat .

Which is fine. But it demonstrates, once again, that Susan Collins has been a solid, partisan Republican.

Unlike Sen. Snowe--and even John McCain--she's a reliable GOP team player.
