Another Dem Senator In Trouble

Sen. Blanche Lincoln's longstanding support of the health care bill put her in hot water for this upcoming election, but now, Arkansas' Democratic lieutenant governor is attacking her  -- by running against her. Lt. Gov. Bill Halter served in the Clinton administration as deputy and acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration -- i.e., you shouldn't write him off -- but he's polling behind her, and probably won't have a serious chance of winning. The only thing Halter will be good for is siphoning off support from a candidate who already lacked it.
