Last Friday, I mentioned this racist anti-Halter ad, and opined: One would hope that the [Blanche] Lincoln campaign would denounce the ad tomorrow if not sooner (though, at this point, I won’t hold my breath). After all, given that Lincoln…

AR-Sen: Pryor Communications Bill — Right Idea, Wrong Time
I have bemoaned Arkansas’s lack of internet access (note: those numbers are from 2007) many times. Only Mississippi and Alabama are worse than Arkansas in terms of percentage of the population with some kind of internet access, be it dial-up…
AR-Sen: One-Sixtieth Of The Truth

AR-Sen: Being A U.S. Senator Is Like Crack Cocaine
John Brummett says he is sick of both Blanche Lincoln and Bill Halter. This is a nothing less than a classic case study in the decline of modern political discourse. I can’t think of a single issue that has been…
AR-Sen: Silly Internet And Its Ability To Make Disproving Claims Much Easier
Another day, another attack by Blanche Lincoln that just begs for context and for her own record to be thrown back in her face. (h/t Blake’s Think Tank) First, the new ad: I love that, in an ad designed for…
AR-Sen [Follow-Up]: Lincoln To Keep Goldman Donations
Remember the halcyon days of yesterweek when Blanche Lincoln gave a straightforward “no” when asked if she would return the Goldman Sachs’ campaign contributions? Remember how I wrote: [B]y playing the “they had paid off TARP” card as an excuse…
