Poll question: Should the DNC spend any more money on Blanche Lincoln?

And spend the money on stronger candidates elsewhere?

She's 20 points behind.

Disclaimer: I would rather see Blanche Lincoln win over the Republican.

1. They should spend a little bit

She's never lost an election, so that's worth something. I sent her a donation.

2. I voted no. The DLC had a chance to get a better

candidate against Boozman and they blew it by supporting Lincoln in the primary. And, ONCE AGAIN, the Left was correct and the "centrist" DLC was WRONG. Now, they need to eat it and use their money on more electable Dems.

3. I voted no.

I honestly only like one thing Blanche Lincoln did recently and that was the derivatives part of Wall-Street Reform and I believe she only did that to save herself. Spending money on Lincoln is a bad idea whenever the money could go towards helping out more progressive candidates.

4. She has friends in high places. They have money. She can ask them.

5. I despise the woman but I would vote for her.

A get even strategy is a sorry strategy. If it looks like she is narrowing the gap then they should send a token amount.

6. Sen. Blanche Lincoln is more of a repuke than a Democrat!

I wouldn't waste another dime on a Senator that bills herself as not answerable to the Democrats!

7. But, is she more of a Democrat than her opponent?

That seems to be the only pertinent question to me. Of course, I don't vote in that state, so I'll leave it to people who do.
