Palin: 'Not sure I can convince Lincoln to vote no'

Sarah Palin expressed pessimism that she could "convince" Sen. Blance Lincoln to vote no on tonight's first procedural motion on healthcare reform as Lincoln said she would support it.

Granted, Palin (R-Alaska) is on the road promoting her memoir Going Rogue but the timing was not so apt. The former governor did say, however, she would work to get Lincoln (D-Ark.) voted out of office. She tweeted:

Not sure I can convince Sen. Lincoln to vote no - but will do everything in my pwr to convince my friends in Arkansas to vote against her.

With Lincoln saying she will vote for the motion, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) now has the votes he needs to pass the motion to continue debate and clear the fist major hurdle on his legislation.
