Any word yet from Arkansas?

[Sebastian Doyle]

I don't have cable TV here, so I haven't heard whether we can celebrate the defeat of Blanche WalMart or not.

1. Lincoln has about 49% of the vote right now, needs 50% to avoid runoff... (nt)

[mvd]

2. Last time I saw, she was ahead but only 20% in - also not at 50% support yet

Maybe this will at least force her left a bit.

3. Ark Sec State site:

:hi:

Edit to add:
Lieutenant Governor Bill Halter (Democrat) 11,805 44.36%
U.S. Senator Blanche Lambert Lincoln (Democrat) 10,869 40.84%
DC Morrison (Democrat) 3,939 14.80%

[Bryn]

7. Yay! Halter is leading

Go, Halter, Go!

[brentspeak]

4. Politico has (with 27% reporting): Lincoln (44.5%), Halter (41.4%), Morrison (14.2%)

This is the one I've been most interested in, as Lincoln is among the worst-of-the-worst of the Senate Democrats and Halter would be a gigantic improvement over her and a true Democrat to make up for the loss of Dorgan.

6. Somebody has their numbers switched!

5. Just appeared on my TV Lincoln is 41 and Halter 40

It's a very close race.

Go, Halter, Go!!

9. I hope this turns around, I REALLY want to see Lincoln go, gone!

[pinto]

13. Is this a runoff if no 50+1 majority primary?

:hi:

[rocktivity]

16. Right--so the the tighter this stays, the better for Halter.

17. Lincoln

Is the vote holds up she only has a 2 point lead over halder.This means In the runoff
she could lose.No poll had it this close.

This,Kentuckey,and PA has been good news for Democrats tonight.

The White House needs to reconsider always supporting Incumbents In primarys.
