Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), who is facing a primary challenge from her left, has a new TV ad that takes an unusual step for a Democrat: Attacking labor unions, after they went after her first.
In her new TV spot, Lincoln responds to a spot by unions supporting Lt. Gov. Bill Halter in the Democratic primary, which declared that Lincoln is “working for them. Not us.”
“So, who’s the ‘us’ that I’m not working for?” Lincoln asks rhetorically. “That ad is paid for by a bunch of Washington, D.C., unions. And they’re right. I’m not working for them — I work for you.”
