Maybe We Should Start Doing This Again
Believe me, team, should you ever dare to start up a blog and then take some time away from it, boy howdy, will you ever hear about it. As a result of my hiatus these last couple of weeks, I’ve received a steady stream of complaints, insults and threats via e-mail, telephone and personal confrontations. But enough about Arkansas Project Girlfriend….So maybe we’ll start ramping up again this week, ever so slowly, so as not to hurt ourselves. Let’s start with a) a new photo of that Arkansas chick who won CBS’ “Survivor” a few weeks ago and b) some long-delayed updates to our candidate lists. Quite a few changes to the First, Second and Third District congressional races, among others.The good news is that over the next couple of weeks we’ll start to get a much clearer sense of what all of these primary races will look like, since candidate filing starts March 1 and wraps up March 8. Which Senate candidates will wake up and face reality? (*cough*Curtis Coleman!*cough*Conrad Reynolds!*ahem*) I can’t wait to find out!And among the things I missed last week…seriously, a TWITTERVIEW with Sen. Blanche Lincoln? My friends, we have now arrived at the absolutely stupidest possible confluence between the worlds of social media and politics. Alas.
Well look who's back. (Photo credit CBS)
Believe me, team, should you ever dare to start up a blog and then take some time away from it, boy howdy, will you ever hear about it.
As a result of my hiatus these last couple of weeks, I’ve received a steady stream of reader e-mails, telephone calls and personal confrontations filled with complaints, insults, nagging and threats. But enough about Arkansas Project Girlfriend….
So maybe we’ll start ramping up again this week, ever so slowly, so as not to hurt ourselves. Let’s start with a) a new photo of that Arkansas chick who won CBS’ “Survivor” a few weeks ago (the “TV Guide” page where I found that photo says it’s her, but if so she looks really different from the earlier shots) and b) some long-delayed updates to our candidate lists. Quite a few changes to the First, Second and Third District congressional races, among others. (Let me know what updates we’re missing on the state legislative races front.)
The good news is that over the next couple of weeks we’ll start to get a much firmer sense of what all of these primary races will look like, since candidate filing starts March 1 and wraps up March 8. Which Senate candidates will wake up and face reality, once they’re faced with actually having to write a check for $12,500? (*cough*Curtis Coleman!*cough*Conrad Reynolds!*ahem*). I can’t wait to find out!
And among the things I missed last week…seriously, a “TWITTERVIEW” with Sen. Blanche Lincoln? My friends, we have now arrived at the absolutely stupidest possible confluence between the worlds of social media and politics. Alas.

Hey David!
Quick question for you: if Bill Halter does not run against Blanche Lincoln but instead a genuine Conservative (who would fit in just as well in the Republican Primary) runs against Blanche Lincoln, how well do you think that genuine Conservative would do against Blanche in the Democrat Primary?
Could they win or at least make it a race?
Is there enough disgust for Lincoln that if a credible but genuinely Conservative opponent got into the primary that she could be defeated?
Thanks, David, and I look forward to your response!

So what are the terms of your release?
Welcome back and I couldn’t agree more. The twitterview was bloody awful

You’re just jealous of Blanche because she had somethingon the internet and you didn’t. And she was definately more coherent than you. I feel an intervention coming on.

Please tell me a hike up the Appalachian Mountains was not involved.

Is it true that men just like belly button rings because it reminds us of the staples in a prono mag?

Yep, just like we like pierced tongues in the hope they will catch at the roof of their mouth and keep them quiet and unable to talk.

I miss you, Dave.
