Looks like another Dem is in trouble. Even moderates are getting sick of the untra-liberals in their own party, according to article. August 26, 2009 Poll shows Sen. Lincoln in serious reelection trouble @ 1:00 pm by Aaron Blake It might be time to start looking at Arkansas as a marquee Senate state in 2010. According to a new survey from Democratic-leaning firm Public Policy Polling, Sen. Blanche Lincoln's (D-Ark.) net approval rating has dropped by double digits in the last five months, to below 40 percent approval, and she is virtually tied with three Republicans - all of whom have favorability numbers in the single digits. The state is shaping up similar to Nevada, where a series of unknown Republicans are already polling competitive with - or leading - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.). The different between the two is that Reid has long been unpopular in his home state, while Lincoln still had a net positive approval rating in March (45 percent positive/40 percent negative, according to PPP). But that was five months ago. Thanks to Democratic initiatives and the very conservative nature of the state, Lincoln's approval is now 36 percent positive and 44 percent negative. She polls at 40 percent in three potential general election matchups, trailing state Sen. Gilbert Baker and businessman Curtis Coleman by 2 percent and 1 percent, respectively, and leading attorney and Iraq/Afghanistan veteran Tom Cotton by 1 percent. In other words, Republicans might not need a big-name candidate. And that's good for them, because they're not getting one. The most interesting part of the poll might be the fact that Lincoln is viewed favorably by just 62 percent of Democrats. Basically, conservative Democrats who could hold their nose before are now getting a taste of the more liberal element of the party's leadership, and they don't like it. http://briefingroom.thehill.com/2009/08/26/poll-shows-sen-lincoln-in-serious-reelection-trouble/

good we need as many scared Blue dogs as possible to vote against this administration. They will start to fall because they were burned by the cap and trade agrument.
Please forgive me for doing this in bold. I'm sure you all know the following, but it's so important.
The reason you're seeing this is that, while the MSM can control the crap that goes out on the air, they can't control how we think and what we do. So I predict incumbents are going to be dropping like the disgusting flies they are.
Maybe when this becomes all too obvious, more eyes will open as to how dangerously unqualified, not to mention ineligible, Barack Hussein Obama really is!

Alex, I think you're exactly right about MSM. The public has been and is being manipulated by MSM in subtle ways, as well as in more blatant, obvious ways. You know, you always hear pols say that the American public is smarter than given credit for, or that they can't be fooled. Yet another manipulation that is most of the time is insincere, imo. I think the past election proves that the public can be fooled - with the help and unlimited resources of MSM. This needs to continue to be an important part of our message as we're blogging, talking to other people, campaigning, etc. The gross misuse of power and overt attempts to influence voters by MSM is every bit as scary in my opinion as was the DNC's rigging the primary.

FS and Alex,
Oh so true. It's hilarious because the media used themselves to perpetuate a host of lies for Omoron during his presidential run and they continue to do it on a daily basis. It's digsusting beyond belief. I could never have believed the American public could be so danged niave.
But, it's nice to read and hear about people rising up against this sham of a plan for healthcare reform. Most people are completely against Oasshat's plan and are speaking up - thank the good Lord!!!
