2 U.S. Senators have announced they won't run in 2010. Not very many people expected this since both Senators Dodd & Dorgan are well known incumbents with lots of money and Dodd is from a blue state. What's really shocking about these announcements, is the fact that they were not done on Friday at midnight, usually the best time to release bad news. It is not know what K street lobbying group or leftist "non-profit" Dobbs & Dorgan will go to or if they will retire as millionares, but if either of these liberals can be replaced with a conservative, it will help in stopping the leftist agenda, including illegal immigration.

Stories about the Cornhusker Kickback, the bribe to Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson for his vote on Reid/Pelosi Care, have been mentioned since December 20th http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2009/12/20/ben-nelsons-cornhusker-kickback/. Yet Senator Blanche Lincoln has never complained about Nelson bribe or "The Louisiana Purchase" (the bribe for Senator Landreau) until the day after Jim Holt's press release stating his intention to run for U.S. Senate. Is Lincoln getting her butt off the fence and standing up for something, or is she looking for her slice of leftover D.C. Christmas ham?http://thecabin.net/news/local/2010-01-05/lincoln-criticizes-nebraska-health-care-deal
I haven't heard of a protest at any Lincoln events. Blanche is hiding from the public by going to events with only specific groups and having press meetings not even announced in her email. A press event is scheduled after a tour of the HP plant in Conway Thursday Jan 7th at 4pm, but snow may cancel that event. A sore throat will keep me from going anyway.

Arkansas Ping!
That woman is a complete idiot. “It’s congress’s responsibility to provide welfare for Americans”.
How I loathe that woman. She epitomizes everything that is wrong with Washington D.C. today.
