4. Yes!
I'd have preferred an outright win but this is a clear indication that voters in AR were underwhelmed with the DINO performance of Blanche Lincoln. :puke:

7. Time to pull hard for Halter
He may not be much better than Blanche, but at least he has a shot at actually winning in November.

8. I am pulling for Halter
I hope this is real (that Halter is more for The People)

"Bill Halter (D-AR) -- is campaigning for the public option and cracking down on big Wall Street banks. Senator Blanche Lincoln helped Joe Lieberman kill the public option and has taken millions from Wall Street. Last week, she proposed cutting Social Security and Medicare while giving more tax cuts to the rich."
