Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR) Uncommitted

Staring history in the face, Dem Sen Blanche Lincoln says she is not committed to a yes or no vote on the health care bill. Can you believe this? The single biggest piece of legislation for the dems in DECADES and this senator is riding the fence.


From TPM:

"When asked if she would vote yes on a procedural motion (cloture) to bring the bill to a vote, a spokeswoman said Lincoln "has not committed her vote to anyone.'"


The polling in her reelection is not good and she doesn't see the opportunity here. The south has huge numbers of uninsured and she could be the one brining this to her state.


She is too damn worried about her seat. This is bigger than her seat. This is history.
