"Asa, Win Rockefeller, and Mike Huckabee have declined to run for the Senate"

---

As I wrote earlier, I don't believe Asa has actually declined to run, he has merely said he is not presently inclined to run. We'll find out soon whether that was an attempt to give Huckabee enough space to make up his mind.

I think running Boozer or Dickey (especially Dickey) would guarantee Lincoln's victory. We need Asa---or at least Rockefeller---to run.

After Asa and Huckabee, the quality of AR GOP candidates is less than stellar.

Well I'm lucky politics isn't my job 'cause I've just blown calls on Gibbons and Huckabee, both of whom I thought would run. Oh well.

Lincoln beat the other Boozman to win her seat; I don't think that'd fly. Rockefeller is probably the best bet at this point, although he IS a social liberal. His intention is/was to run for governor in 2006.

Probably best -- for Huckabee -- that he waited. He's set up for a run vs. Pryor in 2008, when some of his more questionable gubernatorial decisions will be old news.

There's a state senator interested in running. Also that sheriff, the colorful one. He'd be fun :)
