Didn't see this mentioned, but Blanche Lincoln has her first opponent, State Senate Minority Leader Kim Hendren:

Because, you know, self-funding always goes well. Also, he's 71 years old, which would seem to preclude a long tenure in the Senate.

When I first read it I thought Kim was female. Do guys with girly names win? Anyone have any statistics on that?

There are a few. The most notable being a certain Senator from South Carolina.

Skipped this story when it happened, and I love breaking news.  I skipped it for a reason Smiley

It's an old dude who used to be a Democrat who has failed statewide multiple times before... while Lincoln is racking up an extremely impressive warchest thanks her opposition to EFCA.

If a guy named "Butch Otter" can win in Idaho, anyone can win anywhere.

I'm not worried, and Blanche shouldn't worry either.

Don't forget that Rep. Dana Rohrabacher or however you spell it from Orange County, CA or somewhere along those lines, he's a guy, and lol @ Butch Otter yeah that's definitely a unique name.

Not a credible candidate yet.  This will guy will do well in NW AR, possibly suburban LR, but will not be competitive in the rural swing belt.

Haven't heard anything to that effect, figured he'd just be running for re-election to Lt. Governor. I know there was speculation that he'd run against Pryor, but I don't know why. Pryor was bulletproof.

You don't know why?  It rhymes with YFCA

Also Carroll Campbell and Connie Mack.

I don't care who gets that seat. A Republican is the same thing as that terrible DINO Lincoln and no one's going to primary her.

If a Republican held the seat, though, Obama's stimulus package wouldn't have passed

Your hate against unions really is creepy. Wanting to ban them is very fascist.

     But it's not fascist that unless a state passes a law to protect its workers that they can be cut loose for not paying union dues? I guess only people who oppose the sacred union boss can be fascist. Roll Eyes
