1274256029 Blanche Lincoln's Lack of Lipstick: It Could Bite Her in the South ... “Blanche Lincoln’s Lack of Lipstick: it could Bite her in the South”. I find the premise of this article, with this title, to be very strange indeed. Wikipedia has this to say about Blanche Lincoln:

“Blanche Meyers Lambert Lincoln (born September 30, 1960) is the senior U.S. Senator from Arkansas and a member of the Democratic Party. First elected to the Senate in 1998, she was the first woman elected to the Senate from Arkansas since Hattie Caraway in 1932 and, at age 38, was the youngest woman elected to the Senate.[1] She previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Arkansas’s 1st congressional district from 1993 to 1997.

Lincoln is the first woman and the first Arkansan to serve as chair of the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.[1] She is currently seeking a third term in 2010.”

Voters of the southern state of Arkansas have been reliably re-electing Sen. Lincoln, sans lipstick, since 1993. if her lack of lipstick hasn’t been an issue for the last 17 years, why in the world would it suddenly “bite her” in her 2010 bid for re-election?

I haven’t followed Sen. Lincoln’s campaign and don’t have any idea where she stands in the polls. wherever it may be, I’m willing to bet it has more to do with her position on the issues that matter to her constituents than her lack of lipstick. I’m pretty sure the voters of Arkansas have a bit more discernment than that.
