Standing athwart the tide of recent headlines declaring Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln to be vulnerable in her race for a third term, columnist David Sanders says, “No way.” Sanders writes that Lincoln is in a strong position due to savvy positioning on key issues and the lack of a compelling GOP challenge:
If a well-off Republican willing to invest a significant portion of his or her wealth in a race or a Republican with a compelling personal narrative emerged, or if the political climate becomes toxic for incumbent Democrats, then Mrs. Lincoln could have a tough race on her hands, but those prospects don’t seem likely right now.
