Former President Bill Clinton struck an unlikely pose in his efforts to rally support for Sen. Blanche Lincoln in tomorrow’s Arkansas Democratic primary. Clinton took on the unions who are supporting her primary opponent, Lt. Gov. Bill Halter, and Lincoln is now playing this up in a new campaign ad.
Then again, Clinton and the unions have been at odds before. He fought them over NAFTA when he was president and some unions sided against Hillary during the 2008 Democratic primaries. Lincoln finished first in the initial primary last month but did not do well enough to avoid a runoff. I suspect she’ll come up short tomorrow, continuing what Bob Tyrrell has documented as Clinton’s poor track record with endorsements, but we’ll see.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Funny, Everything was going great until Clinton whipped out his cigar.

Blanche Lincoln is my choice because she would be easier to beat in November. Both Halter and Lincoln are bad news. If Lincoln had voted no, we would not have the Bad Health Care Bill. We called and E-Mailed her for weeks to vote no. She did not answer phone calls or E-mails. She sent me a letter after it was time to campaign. We must change the House and Senate in November.
