Supporting Obamacare Can Be Hazardous To Your Senate Seat

Sen. Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas is finding that out (from Rasmussen):

Senator Blanche Lambert Lincoln has found herself right in the middle of the national debate over health care, and that’s a tough spot as she prepares to face Arkansas voters in 2010.

As she did in September, Lincoln trails four possible Republican challengers in the latest Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 survey. In fact, support for the incumbent ranges from only 39% to 41% in these match-ups.

The two-term senator, who was reelected with 54% of the vote in 2004, appears more vulnerable because of her visible and pivotal role in the Senate debate over health care. Lincoln was the last Democrat to vote for allowing the debate to formally begin, and she has taken pains to point out that a vote to begin debate is not a vote for the bill.

Lincoln folded under pressure from Harry Reid. Given these numbers I don't see how she dares vote for the final bill unless she has other career plans in 2011.
