"There is a deal," said a spokesman for Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., who has been advocating the change since President Bush signed a $350 billion tax cut last month.

Sen. Lincoln is working hard in Washington to bring needed tax relief to Arkansas families-- and she's getting results. Re-elect Sen. Lincoln-- strong leadership for Arkansans.

Yeah, Arkansas didn't need any GOP senators anyway. Rev. Mike can join the Bush Administration in 2005, I guess.

I agree that this helps Lincoln. On the other hand, the Republicans have to do this. They can't leave the perception out there that they gave a tax cut to everyone except the poorest people. I know people, who vote Republican, who fall into this category. They would be much less likely to vote GOP if they do not get this credit. These people do pay other taxes like payroll, property, sales, excise and all kinds of other taxes.
