Thanks for the report. Perhaps Arkansans will give the GOP a surprise present this November.

It's too bad, though, that Huckabee decided against the race. As you point out, Lincoln has serious liabilities, particularly on the gun issue. A top-tier Republican could've given her heartburn.

I've no doubt Jim Holt's a great candidate, but I fear he just doesn't have the name ID necessary to knock off an incumbent Senator.

Still, though, your enthusiasm is gratifying. Here's hoping I'm completely wrong about this race!

Huckabee would only be slightly better that Blanche. He is nearly as liberal on many issues - including TAXes. Mike should change his name to Mike Tax-N-Spend Huckabee.

Add to that problem is his recent school funding/lawsuit/consolidation fiasco and many in Arkansas are growing weary of him.

At least Huckabee is strong on Marriage (pushed the Marriage Protection Act through) and is a Gun supporter.

Otherwise he has grown more and more liberal over the years.
