It's down to the final stretch for Sen. Blanche Lincoln and Lt. Gov. Bill Halter, who each are predicting a victory in Tuesday's Democratic primary runoff election. But of course, only one Arkansas candidate can prevail, and incumbents aren't doing so well this season.
Lincoln and Halter are criss-crossing the state in hopes of enticing voters who were almost evenly divided between the two during the May 18 primary that they should head to the polls a second time in the election that really counts. Team Halter spun his 43 percent second place finish to her 45 percent as a victory since the incumbent senator wasn't able to hold more than 50 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff.
