Bump for Asa. Blanche Lincoln is helping to prop up Daschle and is support the Estrada filibuster. She must go.

About time. There is no way Ark. and LA should have all-Dem senate delegations.

Interesting news, if true. So then what does the GOP do with Huckabee (assuming he does indeed want to run for this seat)?

Huckabee can serve out his two terms, ride out his current bout of semi-unpopularity, then be on track to take on Pryor in 2008, when he'll still be only 53.

Asa will be 54 come election time.

Huckabee could end up in the Cabinet in 2005 or so. He'll have served as AR's governor for 10 years in 2006- as long as Howard Dean. Should he lose some weight (like he did on phen-fen), he might be a national figure in 2008.

anyone who posts or reads this thread understands the importance of getting more conservative senators...

we can't get anything done like Estrada without them:

so go here:
FREEPers, I have created the ultimate Estrada activism thread. On it you will find ways to contact Senators, newsspapers, radio/tv people, organizations etc. Go there and help support Estrada. Keep the thread bumped until we get him confirmed.
