I know it's White House "etiquette" or something but for fuck's sake |
|
it's time for the President to stop automatically supporting every incumbent dem. In this case it's Lincoln. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/03/white-house-backs-lincoln-in-arkansas-primary.php

the scary thing is that they may actually believe that she should win. Her opponent may live in Arkansas, but this Floridian will have no problem donating to his campaign!

2. But Blanche Lincoln is a good Dem. Did you watch the Senate Finance Committee Markup |
|
of the Health Bill?
She was very impressive.
Why should he not endorse her? Maybe there is something I don't know.

3. Rec and Kick for the discussion. I still don't understand why anybody would not support her. |
|
She seemed very intelligent to me, and I know she took hell for her vote in favor of HCR.

4. She did not take hell for her vote in favor of hcr, she tried to put up |
|
roadblocks at every turn. She's a whore to the insurance corps, not a good Dem. Try googling here and at google; she's not a friend.

the Finance Committee markup.

8. Duh... I don't know why they don't get it. |
|
HCR is coming up way before November. He needs her to vote YES. To kick her to the curb now would undermine that... sheesh!

And as president, Obama is the head of the Dem Party.
