Hmmm, a Southern woman (youngest ever elected to Senate) with charisma.... and values- (The un-Hillary)

who represents farmers, the elderly and veterans...

with a name like "Lincoln"....

remember, the GOP frontrunner is an unknown (to 90% of America) Senator from Virginia.

Blanche Lincoln? No thank you.

Of course, the DLC Party might nominate her.

edited to add link to her 2004 personal finance statement
... I see she has a good amount of money invested in Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett's company ...
I just can't imagine who she takes her leads/directions from ... the people, like a Democrat? or corporations?

5. Hillary/Lincoln

Your comment about Hillary is not productive. Nor is this thread about yet another 08 speculation. All these threads do is detract from the enormous work at hand, now, today, to expose and bring down the CORRUPT REPUBLICANS. Get a grip. 06 is at hand. We have a good opportunity to put a lot of CORRUPT REPUBLICANS in jail. What does this thread accomplish?

6. NO MORE SENATORS

What is it about the Senate that makes people think they are even qualified for the Presidency?
