Party bosses back Lincoln - email from MoveOn. Sign the petition.

[sinkingfeeling]

It now looks like some Democratic Party bosses in Washington are trying to kill the grassroots effort to replace Senator Blanche Lincoln, one of the worst corporate Democrats in Washington.

Even though Lincoln has repeatedly sided with lobbyists and special interests to obstruct progressive legislation, leading Senate Democrats are vowing to close ranks in opposition to her primary challenger, Bill Halter.1

It's time to remind the Democratic Party establishment in Washington that the party belongs to the voters, not the DC insiders. Can you sign our petition urging them to butt out?

The petition says, "Awful Democrats like Blanche Lincoln don't deserve their party's support. Democratic Party committees and elected officials shouldn't spend any time or money supporting her primary campaign or attacking Bill Halter."

4. I have a question for the people excited about Halter.

CAN HE WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION? There is a reason that centrists like Lincoln get elected in places like Arkansas. If this was happening in another region, I would be more enthusiastic.

6. Maybe. He won his current position overwhelmingly. If the GOP runs Rep. John Boozman, it will be a

tight race. Since he's the Lt. Governor, he's well known throughout Arkansas.
