One question circling the Arkansas blogosphere is why didn't Harry Reid give Blanche Lincoln something for her vote on health care? Apparently every Senator was supposed to get something, you know? Senator Reid himself called Arkansas columnist John Brummett to tell him that Blanche looked out for Wal-Mart's health-care costs. Blummett believes that Blanche gave Reid his phone number.

Jason Tolbert adds, "It seems to me that if an incumbent Senator up for reelection next year hurriedly implores the Majority Leader to call an columnist back home about a blog post he has written, then that Senator is highly concerned on her reelection campaign."

Apparently Blanche wanted it known that she did get something for her vote.
