Going off on a little tangent here, but with Landrieu's victory last year (even tho' it was against another woman--who, from what I read here, was also whispered as being a "foreigner" and an "arab") and Blanco's recent one, the dems probably think they've finally found a winning strategy in the south--run moderate (or seemingly moderate, anyways) white women, which also includes Lincoln (what an illustrious surname for such a nondescript senator) in AR. And looks as if Betty Castor in FL and Inez Tennenbaum in SC are strong favorites to emerge out of their primaries at this point. Wouldn't be surprised if the dems yet try again to get Nunn's daughter (whatshername?) in GA to run.

The first name washes out the surname though.
