Does Blanche Lincoln (BlueCross-AR) Have A Primary Challenger?

[WeDidIt]

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.

[NYC Democrat]

2. yeah arkansas apparently went completely insane between 2004 and 2009.

[sinkingfeeling]

4. They didn't vote for Kerry either in 2004 nor Al Gore in 2000.

[ShortnFiery]

5. Just perhaps we should educate those good people? eom

[cali]

17. lol. and just how would you propose doing that?

[Winterblues]

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.

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Do you know of Democrat to run against her? She has 7 Republicans and an independent challenging her

[t0dd]

3. Get rid of her. Let a republican replace her. She is worthless nt

[Segami]

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!

[Buck Feck]

11. Agreed!

What a traitor to the name!

[Nikki Stone1]

6. I love (BlueCross-AR): That's perfect.

All these bastards are on their corporate kneepads.

[BlooInBloo]

7. I'll donate.

[Le Taz Hot]

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.

[gatorboy]

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.

[WeDidIt]

14. Arkansas overwhelimgnly supports a public option

so field a Dixiecrat that differs with Blanche Lincoln (BlueCross-AR) on that issue.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. Like who? And we also have Mike Ross and Marion Berry to deal with.

[cali]

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.

[Freddie Stubbs]

18. No. And the filing deadline is 159 days away
