Carnival of Politics - A weekly blog magazine about politics

No one could've predicted that a primary challenge would turn Blanche Lincoln into a better Democrat. A moderate Democrat who had vowed to oppose any effort by party leaders to push a health care bill through the Senate with a simple majority vote is rethinking her position. Sen. Blanche Lincoln said Tuesday that she wants to see what is in the companion bill before deciding. Of course, she is so clueless, she already ran a primary ad bragging about shafting Democrats on the public option and cap and trade. It looks like she's starting to realize that to win a Democratic primary, she might have to start acting like one. Too late, Blanche. Contribute to Bill Halter Bill Halter for Senate Volunteer
