3. I DO live in Arkansas and I WILL vote for Halter if given a chance.
Lincoln has been a total disappointment and is a danger to the Earth, etc. IMO.

5. I'm from Arkansas and will be voting for Halter in the primaries.
That being said, if Lincoln wins the nomination, she has my vote in November. Better a conservative Democrat than a Republican any day. The Republican nominee is very likely to be John Boozman who is the current Representative of District 3 in Arkansas.

6. Lincoln is pathetic but she did vote for the Recovery Act.
In present day Arkansas political terms she is likely seen as politically liberal by a majority of folks in Arkansas. It is called political reality. I would vote in the primary for the candidate I thought would have the best chance of beating the Republican tea-bagger opposing her. If it would mean holding my nose and voting for Lincoln, I would do it.

7. There are something like 9 Repubs in the primary. Leading contender is my current Representative,
John Boozman.

8. Halter is the current Lt. Governor
He's popular and has demonstrated he can win a statewide election.

Lincoln would lose the GE.
