Arkansas deserves a Senator that will stand up for Main Street in Crossett, Fayetteville, Jonesboro . . .
Bill Halter for Senate
Bill Halter offers a pragmatic alternative to Senator Blanche Lincoln.
Blanche Lincoln may not be part of the problem but she sure isn't part of the solution. Senator Lincoln hasn't made it easy to enact health care, card check, jobs bill etc. She appears to be one of those members of Congress who tells progressive Democrats "I can't vote with you cause of my state." But Arkansas has a strong Democratic tradition. From my viewpoint, Senator Lincoln has never put forth the effort to frame the Democratic agenda that helps ordinary Arkansans the way Dale Bumpers, Mark Pryor and Bill Clinton have.
Bill Halter is the Lutenant Governor of Arkansas who has stepped forward and told Arkansas no more bailouts for Wall Street. It's a great strategy in Arkansas, where not only Lincoln but the likely Republican nominee voted for the Wall Street bailout. Halter has a strategy that dovetails his primary campaign with the general election.
The AFL-CIO has already switched their endorsement from Lincoln to Halter.
While Lincoln certainly has been enough of a Democrat to deserve progressive support if she wins the nomination, why have an imitation when you can get the real thing.
Bill Halter will be a great voice for Arkansas in its best tradition.
