For those of you that thought Sen. Blanche Lincoln was vulnerable might want to take a look at these second quarter fundraising numbers. According to the report distributed by Steve Patterson today, Sen. Lincoln raised $1,270,667 and reports $3,201,745 cash-on-hand. Since January of this year she has raised $2,993,149.
I’m itching to see blogger Curtis Coleman’s fundraising numbers.
Tea Party activist Tom Cox announced yesterday that he intends to run for the U.S. Senate in 2010 as a Republican. Blogger Curtis Coleman has already announced his intention to run in the Republican primary. So far good news for Sen. Blanche Lincoln.
Representative Dan Greenberg, a Republican, announced his intention to run for State Senate district 22, which is currently occupied by Sen. Shane Broadway, a Democrat, who is term-limited. Will Rep. Dawn Creekmore, a Democrat, get in this race, too?
Representative Sandra Prater, a Democrat, announced that she would run for the State Senate for the seat currently occupied by Sen. John Paul Capps, a Democrat, who is term-limited. Tweeter Rep. Jonathan Dismang, a Republican, has already announced for the seat.
Andy Mayberry, a Republican, tells The Tolbert Report that he will “likely” run for the Arkansas House of Representatives district 27. Mr. Mayberry formerly ran against Rep. Vic Snyder and got beat. His Democratic Party opponent is Vicky Morris.
John Brummett has a good point today regarding the office swapping that is likely to take place next November between Arkansas Secretary of State Charlie Daniels and Land Commissioner Mark Wilcox.
I’m not willing to give Mr. Wilcox the keys to the Secretary of State’s office; Pulaski County Clerk Pat O’Brien’s going to have something to say about that. But you can go ahead and welcome Mr. Daniels as your new state auditor. He’ll win by three maybe four touchdowns despite having no auditing experience of any kind.
Still, the bigger point remains.
