Sen. Lincoln targeted by Democrats for a reason

There are reports that Sen. Blanche Lincoln is being targeted by Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) and other liberal leaders to change her vote on the public option.

Conrad Reynolds, Candidate for U.S. Senate* issued the following opinion:

“There is one reason why Sen. Lincoln is being targeted by the likes of Sen. Schumer and other liberal leaders: Sen. Lincoln. If she had a strong record of standing for the conservative principals of her state, there would be no reason why Democrats in DC would waste their effort on her.

Sadly, Sen. Lincoln does not have this type of record, which is why her leaders feel they can change her mind. I call on her to follow through on her decision last week to reject the public option, urge her to vote against it on the floor and oppose any back-room deal which would allow it to be passed.

Arkansans deserve a senator they can count on, not be counted on by the Obama administration to change her mind when it suits them. This is why we must elect a new senator which will restore our voice in Washington and ensure our conservative values are upheld.”
