I think Jane Harman might have a chance of going down, given her role in the Bush wiretapping scandal ("This conversation doesn't exist.").

MSNBC just said Fiorina won.

My thoughts on Arkansas:

Arkansas is my second home (Maryland is where I live, of course). I know how different their state Democratic Party is from the national entity. But I wanted Bill Halter to win SO bad. But I'm proud of him. He made it close. His message was clear. And I hope he runs for Governor in 2014 (or as an Independent in this race, can he do that?)

As for Blanche: Gotta give her credit, she pulled it off. And I'd rather her win in November than Boozman (although I'm fully prepared to see her lose; I know how it is). Her Wall Street reform bill should be pursued more aggressively now; she may have defeated Halter, but as I said before, progressives made their voices count, and I really hope she realizes that and tries to get their support.

What can I say? My Arkansas roots are strong. I can't help it.

The progressives were part of what defeated Bill Halter.  Just so you know that the reactionaries aren't the only ones who screw up.

Oh, I can definitely see how that was possible in Arkansas. I just kept the hope up to the end (the polls from the last few days certainly didn't hurt in this case, either).
