Boozman Makes Bid Official
Rep. John Boozman (R) made official on Saturday his bid against Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), giving GOPers a top-tier candidate against one of the most vulnerable Dems up for re-election this year.
Speaking to supporters in Little Rock, Boozman cited Dem leaders in an attempt to tie Lincoln to the unpopular national party, even as Lincoln has sought to distance herself from Pres. Obama, Senate Maj. Leader Harry Reid and Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
"After visiting with Arkansans it is clear that we need leadership in the U.S. Senate that represents the interests of our state and its residents," Boozman said, according to remarks provided by his campaign. "I am concerned that the Obama-Pelosi-Reid agenda of borrowing and spending our way to prosperity is too costly for our country."
Boozman will speak to supporters at his campaign headquarters in Lowell later today. He will head to Ft. Smith, on the OK border, tomorrow.
But Boozman won't have a clean shot at Lincoln. He still faces a number of GOP candidates who have been in the race for months. On Saturday, one of those candidates signaled he would paint Boozman as a creature of DC.
"Washington isn't listening to the people, but I hear you loud and clear," state Sen. Gilbert Baker (R) said in a statement released today. "Arkansans are looking for leaders who will be part of the solution, not those who have been part of the problem. I am firmly committed to running for U.S. Senate to put an end to the status quo in our nation's capitol."
Polls have shown Boozman, Baker and most other GOP candidates leading Lincoln by wide margins.
I'm still somewhat confounded in your blog right here. Do you seriously think this? I'm not saying you are wrong, but you'll have to make a great discussion to help you convince other people of your argument.
Definitely some of the more amusing comment spam I've seen. Hotline, please institute some kind of login system before you get over-run.
Thanks for that - I am such a newbie when it comes to the internet and it never ceases to amaze me how helpful everyone is. Wish I'd gotten into this sooner now!
Hi, good post. I look forward to your next topic. Thank you, Jane
Hi, I can’t understand how to add your website in my rss reader. Can you Help me, please? I really want to read your future posts.
It's getting harder every day to distinguish the real info from the noise, but I see you've got some totally helpful info here. Trading is tricky enough without being misguided by false experts. Thanks for a super helpful post!
Superbly written post, if only all bloggers offered the same quality information as you, the internet would be a much better place. Please keep it up! Cheers.
Hey - great website, just looking around some websites, seems a really nice platform you are using. I'm currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?
