Lincoln Open to Selling Out on Derivatives, She Says

As if we needed another reason to elect Bill Halter.

NEW YORK (Reuters) -Democratic Senators Chris Dodd and Blanche Lincoln said there was room to negotiate on a proposal that would force banks to spin off their swaps businesses, the Financial Times reported on Sunday.

Lincoln, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, said she defended the policy, but was open to better ideas and suggestions.

"Better ideas and suggestions"? God FORBID this woman gets over 50% tomorrow.
