Can Blanche Lincoln win? Or is she roadkill?

[-]

Just curious to see what everyone thinks.

[Franzl]

Is this a serious question?

[-]

Yes, just for fun.

I want to know how dead everyone thinks she is.

[Ronnie]

Uhhhh, third option.  I expect it to be around 57-43 Boozman.

[Franzl]

Will lose by upper double digits.

[tmthforu94]

You're probably about the only person who thinks she can win, and you only think that because you are a hack who completely ignores polling.

[-]

As of now, it's a safe bet to say she'll lose with between 35 and 43%.

43% is a lot more likely than 35% IMO....I don't think Democrats can go lower than 40 under any circumstances this year in a place like Arkansas.....but then again, Obama proved us wrong two years ago.....but that had "special" reasons

Of course....there's no chance whatsoever that Lincoln wins. None.

Arkansas still is a very backwards state...

[Capitan Zapp Brannigan]

She'll lose around 56-44.

Roadkill.

[tmthforu94]

Yet you continue to have her winning on your predictions...

[Ogre Mage]

Roadkill unless there is an "October Surprise."

I find it interesting that Rasmussen did a monthly poll of AR around the 17th, except in September.

I think Lincoln's numbers have improved but they just don't want to admit it. 

I believe the Ispos poll indicates that Lincoln has risen from below 30 to just at 40.

The Talk Buisness poll was methodologically unsound. 

Of course, Arkansas is a very Democratic state, and being under 40 for any reason is a bad sign if you're a Democrat. 

Lincoln's 1998 opponent, John Boozman's brother, was a one-man gaffe machine.

The only way Lincoln can win is A. Boozman has a big gaffe and B. Dixiecrats come back to Lincoln. 

[feeblepizza]

She'll be lucky to break 35%

[Phony Moderate]

I think there will be some kind of "swingback" or "core vote hardening" to her, and she'll end up with about 40% of the vote.

Ask Bob Menendez.

[RainMan05]

Ask Bob Menendez.

Takes a lost cause to no one, eh?

I will be very happy to see the Senate rid of Menendez and Lincoln both, though I appreciated the free beer I got at the Menendez office.

I can see why a Green, synonomous with "super-liberal" would be happy to get rid of Lincoln, but Menendez?

My generally liberal positions do not necessarily predispose me to support candidates who disagree with me on most things. For example, I am undecided between Boxer and the Green candidate and am a safe Meg Whitman voter.

Okay, then what's the problem with Lincoln and Menendez?

Blanche Lincoln is a pro-corporate tool who wavered on the public option yet supported the mandate that didn't contain cost controls whatsoever. What has Blanche Lincoln down to help bring troops home from Afghanistan or Iraq? Oh, right, she voted to send them there! When has she taken a stand on the environment and pushed to move us to a cleaner and more sustainable economy? Never!

Menendez is a union thug and partisan hack who has done much to help his cronies but little to help New Jersey and Americans. He has been happy to go along with the same old failed Bush-Obama policies.

You have very unusual positions.

Whitman? Your joking right?

That's what I was thinking.
