Greg Sargent at the Washington Post’s Plum Line has the scoop on a new ad from AFSCME in the Arkansas U.S. Senate contest between Sen. Blanche Lincoln and Lt. Gov. Bill Halter.

It throws a whole fusillade of charges at Lincoln, even ridiculing her recent election-day snafu, in which her campaign forgot she’d requested an absentee ballot for herself.

Calling the spot “a very aggressive ad blasting Lincoln on multiple fronts,” Sargent reports the ad is backed by an an $855,000 buy and will run between now and the June 8th runoff.

Here’s the voiceover from the ad courtesy of MSNBC’s First Read: http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2010/05/25/2328131.aspx

When Blanche Lincoln moved her family full time to Washington, D.C., she quickly became part of the place. And that’s the problem.

She was on the move all right, cozying up to the lobbyists, their big money and influence — Goldman Sachs and the other Wall Street banks, big insurance companies like Blue Cross, big oil insiders — BP, Texaco, Amoco and the like. She took their money, did their bidding, moved up — the Washington way. Then voted to send our good-paying Arkansas jobs to places like China and Mexico, used our money to bail out her Wall Street buddies.

The more Blanche Lincoln voted with the Washington insiders, the further she moved away from us. How far away? Just days ago, she didn’t cast a ballot in Arkansas because she’d already asked to vote absentee — in Virginia. Hmmpf.

Blanche Lincoln packed up and left us years ago. Maybe it’s time to send her packing for good.
