Blanche Lincoln, Arkansas’ Democrat Senator, is quickly learning the price of her vote in favor of ObamaCare. The latest poll show that she’s trailing five – count ‘em, five – different Republicans.
In fact, it looks like she could lose to pretty much anyone who doesn’t have a “D” after their name. Look for members of the Whig and Bullmoose parties to throw their hats into the wide open ring.
Rasmussen reports the depressing Democrat details:
Four of Arkansas Senator Blanche Lincoln’s Republican opponents now earn more than 50% of the vote as her path to reelection grows even steeper.
The numbers are closer when Lieutenant Governor Bill Halter is the Democrat in the race, but only because there are more undecided voters.
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in Arkansas, where opposition to the national health care plan is even higher than it is nationally, finds both Democrats stuck in the mid-30s. This suggests that the race continues to be more anti-Democrat in tone than pro-Republican.
Congressman John Boozman, State Senate Republican leader Kim Hendren, State Senator Gilbert Baker and former State Senator Jim Holt all earn 51% of the vote against Lincoln. She in turn picks up 36% support against three of the GOP hopefuls and 35% when matched against Holt.
A fifth Republican, businessman Curtis Coleman, leads Lincoln 48% to 36%.
In every case, the Republicans have gained support, while Lincoln, who earned 38% to 41% in the match-ups last month, has lost ground. Now her numbers are back to the lows she experienced in February.
Bye bye, Blanche. Don’t let the door hit you in the rotunda on the way out.

Plus, throw in that RINO Charlie Crist is dead vs CONSERVATIVE Marco Rubio in FL is good. But if JD Hayworth could beat RINO John McCain in the GOP primary in AZ, that would be great. The only thing that might worry me in AZ is that McCain might do what Leiberman did when he lost to Ned Lamont-remember him? I could see a pissy McCain going indy if JD beats him. This November's election day might be the most important off year election in this nation's history, conservativism must win that day, or else.
...Obama has been great for getting rid of all sorts of trash from Congress, but more needs to be done to rid our republic of what is wrong with it, & starting to push back the statist agenda of Obama's progressive movement.
There are going to be MANY democrats in the same position.
