Does Blanche Lincoln (BlueCross-AR) Have A Primary Challenger? |
|
If not, it's time to find one. She's gutting Health Care Reform.

1. What good would it do to run a 'true' Democrat in Arkansas? This state went for McCain with the 2nd |
|
highest percentage in the country. No 'true' Democrat could be elected to a federal office here.
She does have a total of 7 Republicans running in the primary to go against her and one of those will probably be the next Senator. However, there's not a sane one in the entire group.

10. At least we can put up a fight |
|
Right now we are just conceding victory for the Republicans. She is not a Democrat no matter what she calls herself.

9. Whats the difference in wooing these DINOS? What have we gained by having them in the Democratic |
|
Party. As you can see, these self-serving worthless reps continue to defend their industry campaign donors over the overwhelming will of the people (65%) who favor the public option. Boot them ALL out to the curb!

8. I'm going to say it again, |
|
the Party Machine will not get behind any challengers -- they'll starve them out. At that point, some lifelong Democrats are going to have to do some serious soul searching.

12. They're Dixiecrats who are voted in by Dixiecrats. |
|
I can't tell you how many Democrats in may state refused to vote for Obama and we're considered "blue"
A progressive challenger? Not gonna happen.

16. It's Arkansas. Even if by some miracle a progressive defeated her in the primary |
|
he or she would go down flaming in the general.
