In Arkansas, Blanche Lincoln, if renominated, would be a lock for defeat in November. But last night, she was held to 43%, barely finishing ahead of progressive Lt. Governor Bill Halter, and will be forced into a runoff three weeks from now against him. And you have to figure, given her showing last night,and Halter’s performance last night, she is in trouble of losing.

God Wants Glenn Urquhart to Win

Filed in National by on May 11, 2010 18 Comments

I guess because his first name starts with the letter “G” too, or something. But Bill Colley speaking for God is not the story. The story is that WGMD talkshow host and blogger Bill Colley apparently is now a bought and paid for shill for the Glenn Urquhart campaign.

Crybaby Cathcart
