Boozman Making Calls For Senate Bid
For Rep. John Boozman (R-AR), consideration of a bid against Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D) is anything but idle.
Boozman has begun calling other GOP candidates in the race to gauge whether they would stay in the contest if he made a late entry, according to a top aide. And some have already assured him they would leave the race if he does take the plunge.
Several candidates have told Boozman they would bow out and run instead for his House seat, the state's most conservative district, based around Fayetteville and Ft. Smith in the northwest corner of the state.
And it appears the GOP establishment would be behind him as well. Boozman is expecting a call from NRSC Chairman John Cornyn this weekend and will meet with Senate Min. Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday morning.
Meanwhile, GOPers looking to avoid any bloody primaries could encourage state Sen. Gilbert Baker (R) to run for the seat left vacant by Rep. Vic Snyder's (D) decision to retire at the end of his current term. Baker is the only candidate who leads Lincoln in a new survey. Baker's campaign did not comment on the possibility of his moving to a House contest.
Ex-US Atty Tim Griffin (R) is in the GOP race already and has been moving up the NRCC's recruitment ladder.

You have bad information. Baker is one of TWO candidates leading Lincoln. Former State Senator Jim Holt is beating Lincoln in the same survey, and by more than Baker. Baker leads by FOUR. Holt leads 43-37, or SIX points.
I understand that many uninformed people just took numbers off the erroneous chart that appeared Thursday night on the Arkansas News site rather than reading the article. Clearly this story, which ignores Holt's SIX POINT LEAD over Lincoln, was based on the same sloppy "reporting."
The real story is why is the NRSC looking for a "STOP HOLT" candidate when Holt leads Lincoln by SIX and will Jim Holt become the next Marco Rubio? Whether that happens is up to the NRSC and whether they choose to go to war with Arkansas conservatives.
Rick, you are very naive. Don't you think it was intentional that they ignored Holt here, just as it was an "accident" that the numbers are reversed. The GOP insiders hate Holt because he's a true conservative and someone they can't control.
This is just the beginning. They hate Holt for his faith because they hate all Bible believing Christians. If they had their way, there would be special "camps" for people like Holt, because they think that people who believe belong in institutions or worse.
If Holt were winning by 20, they wouldn't report it. They hate him and you will continue to see this kind of biased anti-Christian, anti-conservative reporting in other insider based articles. They know Holt can't be controlled, and it scares them.
I thought it was going to be some boring old post, but it really compensated for my time. I will post a link to this page on my blog. I am sure my visitors will find that very useful.
Keep up the good work. Your article is really great and I truly enjoyed reading it.Waiting for some more great articles like this from you in the coming days.
