Senator Blanche Lincoln (D. Ak.) is currently giving her acceptance speech, having survived her primary challenge from Bill Halter. Why is this good news? Halter ran from the left of Lincoln, with massive funding from unions. There is an anti-incumbent element to the current political scene, and it is well founded, but this race may show that the more conservative elements of the self identified Democrats are exerting their influence.
