JFTR. RealClearPolitics has Lincoln up over Holt 19% in the last poll taken. Maybe she figures why debate when you're so far ahead. Nothing to gain, everything to lose. Can't believe Bush is carrying a state in the deep south and a liberal like Lincoln (Lifetime ACU rating = 22) is so far ahead of her GOP opponent.
As far as the RNC thinks, the seat is a write off.
The only thing we can hang our hats on is the tendency of GOP voters to vote all "R"s when they get their ballots.
At least that is what I always do.
After meeting Holt, I find he is a honest, devoted and fine man who deserves a chance to help right the sinking liberal ship of state.
Blanche has her heels dug in however, and she has appealed to the independents (really democrats who did not vote for Clinton in his second term) with millions in donations by the majority of Arkansas corporate interests.
This state is run, owned and operated by dems. The only thing that may upset the cart is the gay issue.We have a marriage amendment on the ballot and my hope is that Holt gets the benefit of that issue.
We shall see!!!!!!!!
