I as thinking of posting a picture of a tarp, but the last time I tried to use pictures to make a point, people weren't on board.

Who hasn't known about this?

Of course, I know what Boozman's likely retort to that would be.

Obviously it's known, except to Arkansas voters.

The same one he used in the primary, something about watching Razorback football games?

Here you go, Lunar. Most of the ones were obvious, but I thought this one was a little more subtle:

Well, let's put it this way - if his team can't think of a correct response to that after being asked it in the primary, he might well deserve to lose.

Reminder of federal administration wasteful spending (stimulus/health care) that Halter, as a Democrat, will act as a rubber stamp for Obama for.

Democrats have hope for Bill Halter?  Come on guys, I know he's a progressive hero and all, but let's try to control ourselves.

There's not much hope.  But he certainly has far more of a chance than Lincoln, so it's worth keeping a watch on the side as we focus most of our attention on far more competitive races.

I'd wager that most Arkansas voters don't even know what TARP is.

They'd know what "the Wall Street bailout" was probs

um...Lincoln is looking stronger than expected when I posted this thread.

What will her argument be against Boozman?  He's what...too conservative?  Too much of an establish politician?  Too tied to special interests?  Too tied to outside interests?  I don't see what her meta argument here will be.

In the final hour, she's running ads tying herself to Obama, who is not exactly a winner in the general electorate in this state.  

I receive ALL of Lincoln's email blasts as a matter of interest, and I just don't get what her long-term strategy is here outside of keeping her campaign alive so as to avoid quitting and hurting all of her friends that depend on her campaign for their salaries.  

What will be her main policy critique of Boozman?  I have no idea.  Boozman seems closer to the majority of Arkansas on *every* issue than Lincoln is.

If Lincoln wins the nomination tonight, I'm comfortable writing this seat off completely. +1 for the GOP.

Arkansas Democrats were either too dumb or too DINO to dump Lincoln.

It's done.

Drive this off a cliff:



Arkansas, out.
