Did I say "last call"? That was before I came across this:
Lincoln's obstructionism on healthcare and a host of other fronts persuaded Arkansas Lieutenant Governor Bill Halter--a rising star in the state--to challenge her in the Democratic primary on May 18. Halter helped organize a free healthcare clinic for a thousand Arkansans in November 2009 and supported a public insurance option, along with passage of a final bill through reconciliation. He's been endorsed by the AFL-CIO, SEIU and MoveOn, and recent polls show him gaining on Lincoln.
Now, in an attempt to court the Obama voters she's repelled throughout the past year, Lincoln is running ads on African-American radio in Arkansas claiming she "stood with our president to pass healthcare reform." The ad continues: "Even though the Tea Party and insurance companies attacked Blanche Lincoln, she never abandoned our president, nor you."
Seriously, this is the person who stood on the floor of the Senate and promised a filibuster with Republicans if the public option wasn't stripped out. This is the same person who voted against the reconciliation health care reform package. And she's going to talk about "never abandoning" Obama?
There is one way to answer this kind of hypocrisy:

Update: Per the comments, you're all right. Lincoln isn't being hypocritical. She's LYING.
