DailyKos Says Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln Should Retire
Rasmussen Reports reveals that Arkansas Blanche Lincoln's popularity has not improved. In fact, "Lincoln are pretty much the same as last year’s while she prepares to face Arkansas voters in November." A new Rasmussen Reports survey shows that "Lincoln’s support for reelection at 38% or 39% no matter which of four potential Republican challengers she is matched against. . . . The two-term senator, who was reelected with 54% of the vote in 2004, appears more vulnerable because of her visible and pivotal role in the Senate debate over health care. Lincoln was the last Democrat to vote for allowing the debate to formally begin . . ."Daily Kos, a liberal democrat progressive Obama site, responds, "The closer those incumbents were to 50 percent, the more likely they were to survive. Lincoln, stuck at around 40 percent, is in dire straits. No incumbent dipping into the 30s survived in '06 or '08. Quite simply, she is unelectable. Democrats have a thick bench in Arkansas, and could make a serious bid to hold the seat. But Lincoln won't pull it off. She's toast. If Lincoln cares about her state and her party, she'll do the honorable thing like Chris Dodd and retire. Otherwise, let's hope Lt. Gov. Bill Halter forcefully retires her in a primary."
It looks like Democrats and Republicans can agree that it is time to Dump Blanch Lincoln.

I think every other state should do a recall vote for those not up for election.
Yay!!! Blanche will be gone in 2010. It's about time!!!
I read about this Green Beret who is running for her seat as an Independant. Looks like a good choice to me.
You cannot Recall in Arkansas.......Much to my regret!
Yes, I agree. If we could recall, we should begin with Sen. Mark Pryor for falsely presenting himself before his last election as a centrist and a conservative. Once elected, he literally ran into the arms of the liberals and became the Judas goat leading others to the Obama and liberals camp.
While Blanche Lincoln is plagued with a plantation mentality where everyone should be serving her verses her serving everyone else, Mark Pryor did not have this plantation gene or at least not to the extent of Lincoln. But he did have his daddy's genes - the old "if you only knew what I know" about the issues at hand or decision made.
There has been "no accountability" for far too long. Time to Dump Lincoln.
Bill,
What can I do to help rid the State of Pryor? I've let it be known that if he ever ran against Iran's Amadinejad, I'd have a heck of a time deciding who to vote for!!
