3. Not so sure Lincoln & Pryor from the great state of Wal-Mart

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Sen. Blanche Lincoln said Tuesday she doesn't believe federal legislation that would allow labor organizations to unionize workplaces without secret-ballot elections is necessary, but gave herself room to support the measure if it's brought up later.

Business and labor groups are pressuring the Democratic senator from Arkansas for support either way, and Tim Griffin, a potential challenger to the senator's 2010 re-election bid, has said her stand could be an issue in the race.

"I think the question is, is there a need for this legislation right now? And for multiple reasons, I don't think there is," Lincoln said in an interview with The Associated Press.
