Did Olympia Snowe cause a 7-car pile-up on I-295?
Interesting question and it's one I hope to find out too! (Hat tip to MikeyinMaine from Ablog for sending this article to me)
First, let me start out by saying that Olympia Snowe and her husband Jock McKernan (ex-Governor of Maine) live in Falmouth, Maine. I lived in this town for close to half my life and I know exactly which house she and her husband bought and live in. Now, one thing is for sure...Falmouth is the wealthiest town in Maine (I was the only poor person living there LOL). There are people there who are presidents of Fortune 500 companies in the Portland area and there are people who live there who are from old money and don't work because they have so much m0ney. Well! One of Falmouth's most popular citizens is Olympia Snowe and her husband. Interesting!!
Is she the woman whose identity is being hidden from the public in connection with this accident? Is it possible that Olympia's plate number was taken down and called in and the people who witnessed the accident never saw the driver, but did get this information instead and this is why the police are hiding her identity now, because they know it's her? Hmmmmmm...could be. Of course, I'm just making assumptions here, but it is oh-so-damn-juicy in my book.
Falmouth is also veeeeeeeeeeery republican too. It would not surprise me if she is being sheltered right now if it is her.
From the Portland Press Herald (I've bolded the last paragraph):

From the Portland Press Herald (I've bolded the last paragraph):
Five days after a seven-vehicle pileup injured five people and snarled traffic on Interstate 295, state police had yet to release the name of the woman who they say caused the crash by making an illegal U-turn.
The driver has been identified as a Falmouth woman who was driving a light-colored Cadillac and whose lawyer contacted police within hours of the arrival of authorities at her home.
That description has fueled Internet speculation that the woman, who is in her late 50s, is getting special treatment, perhaps because of wealth or status.
Steve McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety, would not respond to that line of speculation Tuesday. He said he expects the woman will soon be identified.
"Her name, I would suspect, is going to be released once charges are finalized," McCausland said.
[...]
He said last Thursday's crash is different because the Cadillac whose driver is thought to be responsible was not damaged. The woman reportedly drove away untouched, while seven vehicles behind her crashed.
Chuck Dow, spokesman for the Maine Attorney General's Office, noted that under state law, the names of suspects can be protected if police believe their release would interfere with law-enforcement proceedings or constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, among other reasons.blockquote>

It's interesting that the police haven't released the name of this individual yet. The only other person I can think of that would be wealthy and known enough in Falmouth would be Mary Alice Davis, who is the widow of the Shaw's Supermarket heir. She has caused many waves in Falmouth and I can see where she would not want her name released.
Also Chris, you're under the assumption that it's a 12 hour flight home to Maine after the last vote is cast in DC. You're also assuming that Olympia sticks around for hours cleaning up her office for her vacation break. All of the Senators fly back to their states and Maine isn't a far flight for anyone. There is a chance her husband picked her up from the airport in Portland and was heading back that day. To think that Olympia and Jock don't have a personal car they use is wrong. I've been on I-295 heading north when a black Cadillac with tinted windows has passed by. When any leader in our government is working, they get the limosine treatment!
To prove my point...I'VE BEEN IN SHAW'S SUPERMARKET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY ON A SATURDAY AND OLYMPIA SNOWE WAS IN THERE SHOPPING FOR GROCERIES!!! She lives less than a mile from this store. Ask anyone in Falmouth and they will tell you that she does not drive around in a limosine every single day. She's awfully nice too (as much as I didn't want her to win this year and didn't vote for her, at least she is cordial to her constituents) and will stop and talk with anyone who wants to.
It's probably not Olympia, but it could be too! We just don't know at this point. Who hasn't been heading home and then decided to do a u-turn on the highway to head back to where you came from? Her husband could have been driving and not her.
We'll have to wait and see what happens. If it's not her, dammit. If it is her, then she needs to explain herself and make it right with the people involved in this accident!!
