Tennessee's Lincoln Davis is one of the Seven Turncoat Democrats who voted for Bush's veto and against the will of the American people. (Roll Call)
Voting to sustain Bush's veto were 196 Republicans and 7 DINOs. Two hundred and twenty Democrats and two Republicans voted to override the veto.
Chris Bowers over at MyDD comments on the "seven defecting Democrats":
"The seven defecting Democrats were John Barrow, Georgia; Dan Boren, Oklahoma; Lincoln Davis, Tennessee; Jim Marshall, Georgia; Jim Matheson, Utah; Michael McNulty, New York; Gene Taylor, Mississippi. I don't care how 'conservative' your district is. With 60% of Americans favoring a timeline to end the war, it probably has a majority in every Democratic held seat, and even in the majority of Republican-held seats. And that isn't going to change between now and November 2008. It needs to remain in issue in both primary and general elections."
As we've noted before, Lincoln Davis is one of Tennessee's most conservative Democrats.
