Pretty in Politics

Senator Lincoln, as I mentioned in my previous post, kept the Senate in suspense by holding out her vote on the health care bill until about 2:30 pm yesterday and becoming vote #60–the last vote needed to bring the bill to the floor for debate. Lincoln has been watched closely by both parties throughout the entire healtcare debate, and the scrutiny will likely not stop soon. She has kept her composure well, despite facing an election in 2010 and strong attempts at coercion by Democrats and Republicans in the Senate and in her home state.

Senator Lincoln has pledged she will continue to ignore partisan politics, to oppose a “government-administered health care plan,” and to act in the best interest of her constituents in Arkansas.
