Can anyone read this AP dispatch ("Specter's defection to Democrats roils Republicans") and tell me who the "roiled" are?

Can anyone read this AP dispatch ("Specter's defection to Democrats roils Republicans") and tell me who the "roiled" are? Mitch McConnell? He doesn't sound so disturbed as much as he issues a warning. And Olympia Snowe? Like she is representative of the party as a whole?

Most comments that I've read/heard from various GOP members have been of the "What took you so long?" and "Don't let the door hit you on the way out" nature.
