Blanche Lincoln vs. Bill Halter in Round Two of Arkansas Senate Fight

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – This Race is About Arkansas, Not Outside Groups.

That's U.S. Sen. Blanche Lincoln's mantra as she gears up for a June 8 Democratic runoff with Lt. Gov. Bill Halter.

Neither candidate received 50 percent of the primary vote, guaranteeing three more weeks of testy campaigning. Lincoln received 44.3 percent to Halter's 42.5 percent. The third candidate, DC Morrison, who aligned more with the Tea Party than with Democrats, garnered a stunning13 percent.
