Blanche Lincoln is running

The arrival of 2010 has put U.S. Sen. Blanche Lincoln in full campaign mode, not a minute too soon.

She was on KARN radio this morning (she disapproved of the special deal Ben Nelson cut for Nebraska on the health bill). She's scheduled public appearances all over (LR Kiwanis and Stuttgart Chamber of Commerce today.)

And when you have $6 million or so in campaign cash, with millions more to come, you can afford a sizable payroll. To wit:

LINCOLN NEWS RELEASE

Little Rock - U.S. Senator Blanche Lincoln said today her election campaign has entered a new and exciting operational phase that includes several talented aides, an expanding corps of enthusiastic volunteers and establishment of a campaign headquarters at Little Rock's historic Union Station.

"As we look ahead to this election year, I am building a campaign team that will help me make a difference for Arkansas," Lincoln said.  "They each share my Arkansas values and know how important it is to me that we conduct a positive, aggressive campaign that competes for every vote."

Lincoln said that her responsibilities as the state's senior U.S. Senator and Chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee will continue to have priority but she will devote as much personal time to the campaign as is humanly possible.

"I know I am accountable to the people of Arkansas and whether I am traveling the state or voting in Washington, our staff and volunteers will be working continually to help our state and achieve our goals," Lincoln said.

Lincoln said her first election year goal is to communicate directly with more Arkansas voters than ever before.  "I realize that the national Republicans have put a target on my back so we have our work cut out for us.  But nobody asked me to take this job.  I do it because I think I am best able to help Arkansas."

Lincoln said that Steve Patterson will once again lead her 2010 campaign effort.  Patterson served for eight years as her former House and Senate Chief of Staff and managed Lincoln's two previous successful Senate campaigns in 1998 and 2004.  Patterson, a partner at CDP Strategies, LLC, will serve as general consultant and manager of the campaign.

"I am honored that Senator Lincoln has placed her confidence in me once again," Patterson said.  "I have never met a more dedicated public servant and we are all eager to put the campaign into another gear."

Lincoln said her campaign will continue to grow throughout the year.  She said a campaign headquarters grand opening will be slated for the future, along with opening of field offices throughout the state.

She listed the following additional members of her current campaign team as of January 4:

She has a very tough race ahead of her.

In the end she cast her vote for Obamacare, I'm wondering if she will succeed.

Thanks Sandy, reading the comments were interesting too.

She will more then likely win but it will be a difficult race and yes she did  vote for Obama care but there are a few more votes on that issue.  I wonder how she voted on the other disasters.

She is NOT going to win.


She is double digits behind a conservative who is not even named yet.


I know I will be contributing to her opponent's campaign, as soon as there is one that wins that republican primary.

She really is freaking clueless as to how many people are PISSED! and these are centerist democrats

It was the blue dogs that punked out and voted for this disaster.  I am so angry I am about to become a one party gal.
