“Now, the man on the stand he wants my vote,
He's a-runnin' for office on the ballot note.
He's out there preachin' in front of the steeple,
Tellin' me he loves all kinds-a people.
(He's eatin' bagels
He's eatin' pizza
He's eatin' chitlins
He's eatin' bullshit!)”

Bob Dylan

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – After vowing that she answered to Arkansas and not the Democratic Party — only to find herself forced into a runoff vote by a rival backed by liberal activists — Sen. Blanche Lincoln is embracing the left as she fights to keep her job.

With ads highlighting her support of the federal health-care overhaul and featuring a liberal talk show host, Lincoln seems to move to the left in her latest television spots as she fights a challenge from Lt. Gov. Bill Halter in the June 8 runoff for the Democratic Senate nomination.

"Blanche Lincoln voted to pass health care reform because it was right for Arkansas," an announcer says in the first ad that the senator ran after last week's primary election.

In another that began airing this week, Lincoln highlights her work on the financial overhaul bill and her proposal to regulate the complex financial tools called derivatives. The spot features news clips of MSNBC talk show host Rachel Maddow talking about the financial overhaul.
