But now, in its current configuration, President Obama doesn't have a vote to spare, which means Arkansas' own Sen. Blanche Lincoln will be forced to cast some very unpopular votes. She will no longer be able to straddle the ideological fence between a Republican administration and her own party. Lincoln would have been vulnerable heading into 2010 regardless of the outcome of the presidential contest, but with her party taking a decidedly left-of-center approach, many state and national Republicans believe Arkansas could be a GOP pick-up.

I totally disagree.
The Democrats have enough padding that vulnerable Democrats will be able to vote against 0bama and the majority.
She may have to vote for cloture on some controversial issues, but then she'll be able to turn around and say she voted against it on the floor vote.

If you didn’t already know who was a Republican and who was a Democrat in these races it would be hard to tell because the Democrats don’t mention their party in the ads. They also run as conservatives which is a lie but it helps get them elected.
