AR-Sen: Lincoln Continues To Fight For You By Not Fighting For You
Yesterday, two nonbinding motions to instruct the conference committee on how to iron out the discrepancies between the House and Senate financial reform bills were put up for a vote from the Senate. (Emphasis on the “nonbinding” part; the instructions…
AR-Sen: Proposed Title For Lincoln's New Ad: "Truth, The Remix"
This is Sen. Blanche Lincoln’s latest ad. Did you notice anything that might not be entirely accurate? David Dayen certainly did. Never mind that she’s using all kind of liberal imagery (Salon, Rachel Maddow, the New York Times) in the…

AR-Sen: I Promise We'll Mention Other Races At Some Point
Remember the www.dollarbillhalter.com website that Sen. Lincoln’s campaign launched in an effort to get the least-creative derisive nickname ever to stick disparage Bill Halter for having money? Well, oddly enough, going to that address now redirects a person to The…
AR-Sen: Halter Launches New Ad, "Change"
Fantastically done. Great shots of real people, no mention of the competition, a single message throughout, and probably the most positive tone we’ve had in an ad in this race from either side. I thought the clip from Tuesday night…
