Well, Mr. President, we KNOW who's a** we want to kick!

It's hard to overstate how big a day this could be for the left if labor and progressive activists succeed in taking down Blanche Lincoln, a symbol of everything that's wrong with centrist establishment Democrats.

At a time when the Tea Partyers continue to suck up all the media oxygen, a victory over Lincoln would remind the political establishment that they've been missing an equally big story on the other end of the spectrum.

* Here, in a nutshell, are the stakes: More and more liberals are convinced that for all of Obama's reforms, Dem leaders are, on some fundamental level, squandering a rare opportunity for genuine transformation.

Taking down Lincoln, liberals hope, could function as a swift kick in the Dem establishment's butt.

2. I know Obama supported Lincoln before as he did for all the incumbents.

But she goes directly against helping him. I hope the Arkansas Dems vote her ass out.

3. Not anymore apparently....

4. All of them? Here in Oregon, our Primary came and went

with nary a word from Obama. Not that it was needed, or that it would have helped, but this 'he did it for all of them' is simply not true. He stumped for Blanche, and for Specter. He most certainly did not do so for 'all of the incumbents'.
In fact, the only things I have heard from Obama about my elected Democrats have been criticisms. He's told one he is 'keeping score' of his votes. But praise or campaigning for them did not occur. Maybe in the General. But thus far, that statement is decidedly not factual.

5. I think there is help only when really needed, Biden is going to campaign for Feingold.
