Voters in Arkansas vote for the soul of the Dem party,
Edited on Tue Jun-08-10 08:03 AM by Union Yes
The defeat of DLC/Neocon Sen Lincoln could bring change to our party.

Other Senate DLC(and House) Dems are watching this race closely.

A defeat of one of their own could cause at least some of them to change their views on major policy issues.

Like EFCA.

Universal HC, affordable access for all

War.

Military spending.

Banking.

Reg/Dereg.

Tax fairness.

Todays primary may very well be one of our party's most important election dates in quite some time.

Voters in Arkansas are voting for the soul of the Dem party.

1. It is an important day for our entire nation...In Arkansas especially , but
there are several other primaries and run-offs today which cry ouf tof democratic support, even going against the Democratic Party machine.

The Democratic VOTERS must show up for this day - we are all counting on you!!!

4. I'm glad Specter's gone and I hope Lincoln (and others, frankly) join him.

7. I thought they were voting for a representative who could win in the general
if its only a soul win or lose than it doesn't effect Arkansan's much I guess since the person may never hold office.
