The reason for Lincoln’s importance is that she’s up for re-election in 2004 and is expected to face former Rep. Asa Hutchinson, whose brother Tim lost the state’s other Senate seat in 2002. Asa Hutchinson, who currently works as a Homeland Security undersecretary, filed papers last week that would allow him to run in the Republican primary. He is now waiting to hear from the White House on whether it would view his candidacy in a positive way. Hutchinson’s name recognition alone would make him a formidable candidate against a senator who is not viewed affectionately by the voters.

“If Hutchinson wants to do this, he has a good shot, particularly if Lincoln keeps voting to the left of the state,” says an RNC staffer.
