Jeffords
Endorses Durbin
The U.S. Senate's lone independent is giving his support to Sen. Dick
Durbin (D-Ill.) in his bid for re-election. Sen. Jim Jeffords of Vermont,
who left the Republican Party in May 2001, said during a Chicago visit
Sunday that he was supporting Durbin over rival Jim Durkin in an effort
to keep his former party in the minority. "Although I am an independent,
I truly believe that we must do everything within our power to keep
Democrats in control of the U.S. Senate," Jeffords said.
