Sen. Blanche Lincoln Wins Close Runoff in Arkansas, Captures Democratic Nomination
Please read post 78
Good news. She’ll be an easier target to attack.
Boy are they mad over at Daily Kos.
They are starting to think that maybe their pollster might just possibly have a possibility of being slightly OFF.
You should see the stuff their pollster comes up with. Flattering the Queen. They routinely have Obama’s popularity ratings in the stratosphere. And they thought Halter had it in the bag over Lincoln.
“Well, look at the bright side. The unions didn’t get their way.”

My first reaction to this result was that the unions did not have enough clout to win this primary. This may be a good omen for the general election.
Obviously not familiar with Tennessee Williams. :-P
“Well, look at the bright side. The unions didn’t get their way.”
And the only down-side is that the “card check” thugs didn’t flush even more money down that particular toilet.
Did she filibuster as promised? Or did she fall in line behind the muslim.
I remember back in the 70’s when Bill Alexander said he couldn’t afford a house in Arkansas and a house in D.C. And the good people of Arkansas kept re-electing the drunk.

When I lived in Arkansas, I worked for an organization of contractors and sub-contractors that was very strongly anti-union. From what I picked up in this situation, even though Arkansas has a strong Democrat background, they appear to be much more strongly anti-union than many other states. I remember we had meetings about the fact that the unions had planned advertising campaigns targeting Arkansas, Louisiana and one other state to promote card check. I hope it’s a good sign, but I don’t know how much the anti-union fervor of Arkansas will transfer to other states.
I know Clinton and Blanche are walking on air. But karma has it that she won so America can watch her lose. She is a progressivecommunist liberal in moderate clothing. No wonder slick willy campaigned for her.
This isn’t the 70’s.
Lincoln is toast, the election will be about empowering obama...
HP and DU are in meltdown.
The communists are upset.
She's such a hypocrite.
Anyone have a link to the polls showing Boozman up by 20 points?
Nevermind, found one:
Yes. She should be easier to beat in November than that hard leftist Halter would have been. Now if the Stupid (GOP) Party just doesn't implode and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory between now and then...............
I thought it was from “Gone With The Wind”.
She and her family also receive farm subsidies while she is chairwoman of the Agriculture committee.
" Blanche Lincoln, scion of a rice farm family in receipt of huge annual crop subsidies"
Sen. Blanche Lincoln Voted Against Cap On Farm Subsidies, While Her Family Farm Took In $700,000
Lincoln (known as Blanche Lambert, her maiden name, for the purposes of collecting subsidies) and her family received around $715,000 over a ten-year period from 1995-2005
Arkansas, of course, is the home and headquarters of Walmart. Could be its “influence” helped Blanche win? Walmart tries to keep unions far, far away.
Sweet. Arkansas 2 is ours. Elliot has no chance.
