Casual Observation

The first thing Blanche Lincoln did after winning her primary was to cast a vote to prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating greenhouse gases. Now she says she wasn’t the deciding vote on health care reform despite campaigning in the primary on that very fact. What she should say is that she was indeed the deciding vote but that the bill she voted on was a piece of shit thanks to her obstruction on the Finance Committee and her filibuster threats. It will actually be fun to watch her lose in November.
