Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln failed to win the majority of votes in the Democratic primary Tuesday and now faces a three-week fight with Lt. Gov. Bill Halter for her party's nomination.

Already one of the most vulnerable incumbents seeking re-election this year, Lincoln will run against Halter alone in a June 8 runoff. A third candidate, Little Rock businessman D.C. Morrison, drew enough votes Tuesday to force the extra campaign but will not progress.

Lincoln had said she would be ecstatic with either a runoff or a clear-cut victory, but Halter has said forcing overtime would be close to a win.

16. It will change of course as the votes keep getting counted but they are very close and its Lincoln.

You had Blanche Coakley?

12. Halter getting more votes would be a huge upset.

And so would winning June 8. I wish him the best.

13. The office will go to whoever wins the Dem Primary.

All the rethugs combined don't have as many votes as either one of the two Dem front runners.

WTG Arkansas.

15. Those sorts of comparisons are not necessarily sound.

Look at uselectionatlas.org for primary results in the 2000, 2004, and 2008 presidential primaries and then compare those results to the general elections. The results are inconsistent at best.

14. LOL SUCK IT

BLANCHE...........GO AWAY!:evilfrown:
