Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln Bolts from Her Party in New Ad
March 04, 2010 11:15 AM
ABC News' Teddy Davis and David Chalian report:

What does it take for a Democrat to win in a Red State in 2010?

For starters, depict Washington, a town run by your own party, as children.

Second, explicitly tout your opposition to central components of your party’s agenda including the public option and the cap-and-trade bill.

That’s the strategy being followed by Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D) in a television ad launched on Thursday.

Watch Lincoln’s ad HERE:

[rogertarp]

God bless her. She is trying.

[silverleaf]

trying what? anything it takes to get elected?
Is that a core principle?

[ExTexasRedhead]

She needs to be TOAST along with all RATs come November.

[Psycho_Bunny]

She’s a complete embarrassment to the name.

[exnavy]

Don’t trust her, she’s a liar.

[scooby321]

What was your vote on Obama Care? 70% of your state are against it.

Better change parties girl or bye.

[Roklok]

Too late. Her no vote now means nothing. She should have voted no on heath care when it would have made a difference.

[rogertarp]

Please if the enemy joins us — let’s welcome them and go on.

[Snickering Hound]

She even says she voted against the Public Option Health Care plan.

[tobyhill]

If she gets reelected then she has 6 more years to continue her scam.

[J Edgar]

So if we where to view her as a centerist, where would McLame's Puppy Dog from South Carolina show up on the political radar screen?

[silverleaf]

She’s becoming a Republican then?

Uh, no. Just talking like one. Until she gets reelected.

No welcome mat here.

[dps.inspect]

No, I think Clair McCaskel of Mo is worse.

[ExTexasRedhead]

She’s bye bye regardless. Traitors that go against their Constituents are gone come the November election and they know it. It’s personal now. Americans don’t abide dictators. Our history is one where we go to war against dictators. Ask our veterans.

[ImpBill]

Like her or not, it is a very effective advertisement! And it is bound to get her some votes.

[LucyJo]

"Lincoln, who opposes legislation which would make union organizing easier, is being challenged on her Left in the Democratic primary by Lt. Gov. Bill Halter. Halter has attracted the support of organized labor, MoveOn.org, and Democracy for America, the group started by Howard Dean."

While it is true that Lincoln needs to be defeated, she needs to be defeated AFTER she has won the Dem Primary. She has a record to run against.

Halter would be worse than Lincoln, if possible.

[exnavy]

Good point. I must say, I still don't trust Lincoln.

I'm betting the idiots that keep voting her in think she's Abe.

There is a resemblance.

[comps4spice]

Right. She is trying our patience. The whole lot of em need to be defeated. Clean out the entire lot.

[OSHA]

Blanche loses against an unnamed rabid skunk by 70%.
