It Sucks to be Blanche Lincoln Right Now

The polls say, "Bummer of a birthmark, Blanche."

Her poll numbers are in the toilet, and she looks unelectable in the general election, and now Lieutenant Governor Bill Halter has announced that he is running against her in the Democratic Primary, and the AFL-CIO has decided to come out against the Senator from Wal-Mart and the Insurance Companies Arkansas to the tune of a $3 million independent expenditure.

And, yes, I've added Mr. Halter to my Act Blue Page as well.

This is one of the cases where it's a win-win.

We have a pseudo-Democrat who will lose anyway, and by taking her out in the primary, we have a chance a real Democrat taking the seat.
