In a stunning victory Tuesday, Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln proved she was a survivor in an anti-incumbent year by winning a squeaker of a race against Lt. Gov. Bill Halter in a runoff election for her party's nomination.
Defying expectations, Lincoln had been on the ropes against Halter, who had the support of big labor unions and liberal groups like MoveOn.org. But Lincoln had the support of former President Bill Clinton, an Arkansas native, and President Obama, whose spotty record this year had seemed unlikely to offer Lincoln much added value.
With expectations that Lincoln would not survive the night, a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee source told Fox News earlier Tuesday that Democrats "weren’t going to win Arkansas anyway" in November.
Lincoln faces Rep. John Boozman, R-Ark., in the November election. Republican Sen. John McCain won the presidential contest in Arkansas in 2008 by 20 points.

That's good news, if for no other reason than it will piss the DUmmies off.

Yes, this is good news indeed. Blanche Lincoln will now have to defend her decisions to ignore her constituents. Old tired blood like Blanche will go down to quick defeat. New blood wouldn't have her "problems".

Could be, but I think she is a stronger candidate for the Dems in the general election than Halter would have been, 2010 is not going to be the year of the MoveOn/Soros hard left freaks.
The best thing about it is that SEIU burned 10 million bucks to lose. Join your money in the tarnished dome of Hell, union thugs!

What's also funny is that the unions spent $10 million trying to get her ousted. :evillaugh:

Be careful not to be over confident. It's anyone's game at this point. And there's a long time to the elections...
