Topic: Blanche Lincoln vs. Bill Halter

p>Democratic incumbent Sen. Blanche Lincoln, who has angered much of the left with her willingness to vote with Republicans in the Senate, is facing a primary challenge from Lt. Gov. Bill Halter. Halter, though he enjoys the support of many progressives, is studiously avoiding the liberal label. The primary will be held on May 18th.
