Senator Gilbert Baker Announces the Hiring of Former Huckabee for President National Press Secretary Alice Stewart to serve as Deputy Campaign Manager and Communications Director in his campaign to unseat incumbent U.S. Sen. Blanche Lincoln, an announcement in which Baker was quoted as saying, “I’m excited to have someone with Alice’s contacts as well as her knowledge of Arkansas politics on our team,” continuing with, “Her experience on the state and national level will be a great asset as we work to deliver the message of common sense, conservative leadership,” because we all remember
Stewart worked as National Press Secretary on the Mike Huckabee for President Campaign and also served as Press Secretary for former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and has recently worked as Communications Director for the Republican Party of Arkansas even though prior to politics, Stewart worked as a television news anchor and reporter, and was overhead commenting, “I’m honored to be a part of this winning team, [and] I’ve always known Sen. Baker to be a man of great character and a leader who makes decisions based on what’s best for his constituents. During these trying economic times, we need an enthusiastic Senator who will protect the pocketbooks and represent the values of Arkansans,” and we are thrilled to make this announcement on the heels of tremendous third quarter fundraising numbers for Sen. Baker who outraised all of his Republican opponents with more than $510,000 in contributions, which is almost five times that of his GOP challengers, comfortable with a recent Rasmussen Report showing Sen. Baker leading Sen. Lincoln 47% to 39%.

Gilbert is assembling a great team with Clint, Katie, Alice, et al.

Can’t say I’m against any of the others, but it is going to be difficult to catch this freight train which left the station on Sept 1 and isn’t looking back.
