Description | Senator Blanche Lincoln, the incumbent Democrat — a double-whammy of a handicap this year — was hanging around the Pope County Courthouse here, looking for someone, anyone, to talk to.
“Hi, I’m Blanche Lincoln,” the two-term senator said, popping her head into an office populated by two people, one of whom barely looked up while the other politely declared herself a supporter of Mrs. Lincoln’s Republican opponent, Representative John Boozman.
“I’d love to come around here for one of y’all’s office Christmas parties,” Mrs. Lincoln told the county judge, Jim Ed Gibson, before heading up a flight of stairs and down a dark hallway.
It has come to this for the chairwoman of a powerful Senate committee, a former up-and-comer in her party and onetime favorite daughter in a state whose political royalty includes President Bill Clinton and former Senators J. William Fulbright and Dale Bumpers. |
