they're both DEMS...Dem's can win with that. In Arkansas basically forget about a Repub winning like that.

I can't say that its ever been tried so I'm not sure that it will be that big of a factor. He's already won a statewide election for Lt. Governor with that position and its unlikely that Blanche Lincoln would attempt to make it an issue. She is certainly not going to run on it.

Win Paul's father was not particularly a social conservative, at least by Arkansas standards. He won by pulling over reform Democrats. I would think that his father's campaign would be about the only model to go by.

you may be right but let me point out two things.

1. The filibustering Senate where NOW and NARAL are calling judicial filibusters. This WILL be a campaign issue, even if the candidates don't want to talk about it.

2. the abortion issue isn't exactly paramount for Lt. Gov of arkansas. But US Senators confirm or filibuster Bush's Supreme Court picks. So I think the Republican most likely will HAVE to be pro-life to get elected.
