CQ Politics :

Sen. Blanche Lincoln appears to be on her way to earning the dubious title of most vulnerable Senate incumbent of the 2010 cycle.

The moderate Arkansas Democrat has become a top target of national Republicans in 2010, especially after Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.) announced in early January he was not to going to seek re-election.

No, if anything it might benefit us. We don't need blue dogs being traitors to their own party and fighting every step of the way to make sure no progress is made. I find it insulting she calls herself a democrat when she acts 100% republican. She in no way benefits the democratic party and is a tumor growing on our party that needs to be removed.

Chris Dodds had better chances to get re-elected than Blanche Lincoln, and he saw the uphill battle and decided to do the proper thing in his situation. Lincoln can try whatever she wants and she just does not stand a chance. She could join the tea party and even start a campaign to get Obama's birth certificate, she could join the GOP, she could get all the money in the world from insurance companies, and she still has no chances to get re-elected in her state. All democrats facing re-election in solid republican states are going to get rolled over by the angry mob. She contributed to the sentiment that is going to kick her out of her job. I am a democrat but I am glad that she is going to lose in 2010.

After watching Lincoln during the healthcare reform process I'd say there's no difference between her and the Repugs. Time to get a real Democrat to replace her.

I hope the Dems don't waste any money or "political capital" on her. Utterly useless ...

That dude needs to resign - he's more concerned with re-election than with doing the right thing.

The three worst blue dogs that stood in the way of healthcare passing were Blanche Lincoln, Mary Landrieu and Ben Nelson. I'd love to see them removed from office along with sour puss Joe Lieberman.

She would be a great wife for Mit Romney. It would be like a four person relationship with the on going question of who are you today?
