Arkansas Lt. Gov Bill Halter may challenge Blanche Lincoln in Dem primary

Arkansas Lt. Governor Bill Halter (D) has become the subject of much excitement among liberal groups who are clamoring for a primary challenger to moderate Sen. Blanche Lincoln.

That excitement was fueled Wednesday by a Washington Post report that Halter came to D.C. this week to meet with labor officials and liberal bloggers about a potential bid.

Halter declined an interview request on Wednesday but his advisor, Bud Jackson, released a statement regarding the continued Senate speculation.

"Whether home in Arkansas or on a routine trip to Washington, D.C. Lieutenant Governor Halter has been encouraged to run for the United States Senate," Jackson said. "He appreciates the hopes that others have for him and he continues to listen and respond respectfully but he is focused on raising money for his re-election" to the lieutenant governors post.

Sen. Lincoln better prepare herself for the fight of her career.

challenging her if Halter doesn't run. If he does, she will lose the primary to him.

good from the Obama Administration, and the GOP is still filled with the stupid, he'd win.

Lincoln was one of the 4 to kill the public option, and I can't wait to donate to her opponent in the primary.
