AR-Sen: Rasmussen, Arkansas Voters, & Cognitive Dissonance
By now, I assume most people have seen the most recent Rasmussen poll showing John Boozman with a sizable lead in hypothetical matchups against both Blanche Lincoln and Bill Halter. On the surface, the numbers were pretty damning. A new…
AR-Sen: You Don't Mind If Your Credit Card Rates Go Up, Do You?
When Sen. Lincoln scurried back to Washington D.C. following Tuesday’s results, ostensibly it was to fight any attempts to weaken her (wrongheaded) financial reform bill. Apparently, she is so hell-bent on getting her version, and ONLY her version, through that…
AR-Sen: Six Hours Down, Six To Go
Two observations from mid-way through the 2010 preferential primary. First, on a personal-experience note, there were six people ahead of me when I arrived at my polling place. Eavesdropping (because what else am I going to do?), I heard one…
AR-Sen [Follow-Up]: Lincoln Does Not Want Delay On Derivatives Provision Vote
Contrary to some reports, says a spokeperson for Blanche Lincoln, the candidate does not want the Senate to delay its vote on her proposed derivatives reform language. “The only factors delaying passage of this bill are the number of Republican…

AR-Sen [Follow-Up]: President Obama's Pro-Lincoln Ad
(h/t Blake’s Think Tank) Here is the copy of the aforementioned radio ad that President Obama cut in support of Senator Lincoln. This is President Barack Obama and I want to tell you why I support Senator Blanche Lincoln for…
AR-Sen: Lincoln Uses Indian Imagery In Mailer
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…
