So how's that Blanche Lincoln reelection campaign coming along?

[bluestateguy]

Come on, Arkansas DUers! Aren't you all going to be giving up your weekends and your evenings to make phone calls, knock on doors and volunteer at your local Blanche Lincoln office? Aren't you all going to look for spare change under the couch to send Blanche Lincoln's way?

I mean, can't you just feel the excitement all over Arkansas? Blanche Lincoln fever is just everywhere you look!!!

1. yes, I hear she will lose with about 17%

of the vote. But, we can hope that more people will vote against Boozeman along with those who might for Blanche.

2. Polls show the idiot Boozman leading by big margins. But then again Arkansas hates Obama.

3. It doesn't have to do with Arkansas "hating" Obama

but rather with Blanche's own actions.

4. So voting for Boozman (96% in sync with GOP leaders 2000-2008) would really help?

5. No it wouldn't help. Not at all.

I'm saying Blanche appears to have blown it big time with her own actions. Super big time. Arkansas has been the most reliably Democratic state in the nation as far as the US Senate goes, having sent only one Republican to the Senate-- and only for one term at that-- since the Reconstruction era. She should be a shoo-in, but instead seems to be going down for the count. Boozman as Senator would be like Orrin Hatch. I have tried to make that point elsewhere on this web site, such as here:
