It is a big day for Sen. Blanche Lincoln, who will soon learn whether she’ll win the Democratic nomination tonight or in a run-off some weeks down the road. Her job as candidate today was fairly straight forward: go to the polling place in Arkansas and vote for herself. She screwed this up, sadly.
Interesting mix-up here. Was there a point at time when she was considering not being in Arkansas on the day of her close Arkansas political election?
According to her campaign staff, Lincoln was initially turned away when she tried to vote at her home her polling place this morning after elections officials discovered she had already requested an absentee ballot be sent to her Virginia home. Poll workers told Lincoln their records showed she had already voted.
“She just wanted to be prepared,” campaign spokesperson Katie Laning Niebaum told me a few minutes ago. “She has requested absentee ballots on many past occasions.”
Lincoln didn’t fill out the absentee ballot this time, her staff no doubt eager for the classic casting-the-ballot photo op this morning. But, thanks to this mix-up, she’s stuck with the less appealing “filling out the provisional ballot so elections officials can determine if her vote is legal or not” shot instead.
Nevertheless, there she is in the video up top, with the slave husband and the muppets, who “watched” her fail at voting with great admiration.

Another woman who apparently took John Edwards’ seed.
Don’t need no fancified votin’ skills to stab the public option in the heart, though! Go Halter!
Another Lincoln brought down by a Boothe.
knowing how to vote isn’t the only thing about governing that the democrats are a little weak on.
Nothing says “Winner!” like a video Christmas card shot in a juvy hall visitation room.
A bowl cut and knit shirt in every pot.
Even worse, she ended up voting for Pat Buchanan. Too soon?
Provisional ballot option = job killer for Arkansans.
Meg Whitman is scared shitless by this.
Why didn’t she simply take the blank absentee ballot with her as proof? Or is that too straightforward?
No way!, she didn’t understand something or a process,or the enormity of the moment; and wasn’t sure what to do or which way to go, and wound up casting a half assed vote for herself? No way!
Her kids seem boring too.
A new meaning to “to blanch.”
[re=579970]ph7[/re]: Well played sir.
[re=579981]ella[/re]: It was probably in Washington, on her desk, filled out for “Blanche Lincoln”, with the ‘i’ dotted with a heart.
[re=579970]ph7[/re]: Powers FTW!
The one on the left is staring a hole through my soul.
“Blanche Lincoln Sucks” FULL STOP.
FTFY.

The Big Dog wouldn’t have stood for the rejection, by God! Clinton would have voted three times by the time he left the polling station.
[borrowing from Jake Blues] How much for the lettle boy?
We are the Land of the Fail, apparently.
[re=579970]ph7[/re]: You’d make a great geometry teacher.
Okay, the hairdo is nothing a quick visit to Supercuts couldn’t improve. And the face is rather appealing despite the 50s-vintage framing of the hair. And the accent is always a bit grating. But the main problem is “Blanche”: You just can’t imagine yourself saying “I’d hit that,” about somebody named “Blanche.”
No, there is no level so low that I will not stoop to it.
“Blanche Lincoln Sucks at Voting”
Which is exactly why the democratic base won’t support her.
If you think she screwed up voting, you should just check her record as Democratic senator. Complete and utter fuck up.
Yeah that hair do has Blanche DuBois written all over it.
ACORN
If her ballot is rejected, and she loses by 1 vote, I will renew my belief in a just universe.
[re=580005]V572625694[/re]: Better hair here, but….
This is what’s wrong with you Eastern librul elites. Always wantin’ the smart educated gubbmint officials. Well, that’s not how we roll in the deep South.
[re=579981]ella[/re]: Yeah, I did this same thing today. I’m rarely around for elections so I get the “vote by mail” thing, which I forgot about. I had to fill out a provisional ballot to vote on the sole initiative (a sales tax increase so they don’t shut our schools down; Go AZ!!!) up for a decision. Voting fail.
“Hey, fur-ends, we’ve got the whole Lincoln Klan here…” Ewww.
She has fairly young kids; I thought for sure she would be a grandma. Just saying she hasn’t spent much time on moisturizer…yeah, I know that was bitchy but at least I didn’t add my .02c in about her hair.
[re=580020]Katydid[/re]: From listening to Haley Barbour,Jeff Sessions,John Kyl, Jim DeMint, Mark Sanford, etc that has been pretty clear for a long time now.

[re=580005]V572625694[/re]: Speak for yourself. http://coolaggregator.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/blanche.jpg
[re=580005]V572625694[/re]: Care to revise your statement now, sir?
[re=580004]facehead[/re]: [re=579970]ph7[/re]: Aren’t absentee bullets more of a physics thing?
[re=580037]twoeightnine[/re]: [re=580039]Extemporanus[/re]: JINX! You owe me a Metamucil®!
[re=580005]V572625694[/re]: You just can’t imagine yourself saying “I’d hit that,” about somebody named “Blanche.”
I hear ya – never cared for blanched nuts.
[re=580015]Fox n Fiends[/re]: Were this not a primary, you know the GOP would be running all over the place spreading rumors that, rather than this being an honest mistake, she was really trying to vote twice and OH GOD FRAUD DEAD VOTERS IN CHICAGO
Well fuck it then..Ole’ Blanche Dudouche can yank my lever so’s her voting arm stays in tip-top shape.
Fucked an Abstinence Only Preacher or GTFO.
[re=579970]ph7[/re]: winz
Blanche: After all, a woman’s charm is fifty percent illusion…
Hey, just vote early and vote often!
P.S. Post haircut, twink on the left has hawt potential
Funny, her more influential patrons are perfectly happy with how she’s managed to master the voting process in the Senate.
[re=580119]Rentboy.gov[/re]: You could go to prison for that, Wally.
blanche lincoln sucks at voting
voting at blanche lincoln sucks
blanche sucks at lincoln voting
blanche sucks lincoln at voting
…
or,
kick that habit man
And I quote: “The boys watched us do it.” I wonder if that is more or less effective at preventing the gay than showering with the old man…
Did she borrow those rentboys from George Akers?
