I think that SENATOR LINCOLN has missed the point... She was elected as a candidate of the Democratic party with the trust that she would support that party.. If she wanted to run as a conservative or "as her own person", she should have run as a Republican or an Independent... There is no need for a line in the sand... If this bill is supported by a majority of HER party then SHE needs to support it...PERIOD..!!!
