AR Sen moved to Lean Takeover
Rothenberg Political Report ^ | January 21, 2010 | Stuart Rothenberg

Posted on 01/21/2010 10:41:32 AM PST by bilhosty

Multiple independent polls now show Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D) losing or running even in ballot tests against any number of lower-tier GOP challengers. Just as important, those same surveys show more voters having an unfavorable opinion of her than a favorable one.

Given the bent of Independent voters (in the recent Massachusetts special election but also in national surveys), we are increasingly doubtful that the Arkansas Democratic Senator can win another term. Of course, much depends on the eventual GOP challenger and how the economy behaves over the next nine months. Still, the burden of proof has shifted in our minds, from requiring Republicans to prove that they can defeat Lincoln to requiring Lincoln to show she can win reelection. Move to Lean Takeover.

This is great news.

If the TEA Party can take over the GOP, they have a chance to get a majority this year.

If you dunk a Dem senator in a vat of hot tea, she gets “blanched”

A “lean takeover” would be in keeping with Michelle Obama’s anti-obesity campaign.

Exactly!

I had to look it up to find out what the 'insult' was referring to.

The real issue is keeping these marxist politicans thinking that moderation now might save their seats, so they will not totally sell the farm between now the the election. Then on election day kick there a$$s out so far that they can never find their way home.
