(CNN) – Early voting begins Monday in Arkansas' May 18 primary.
On the Democratic side, Sen. Blanche Lincoln faces a tough challenge from the left from Lt. Gov. Bill Halter. Lincoln is fighting for a third term in office.
On the Republican side, there are eight candidates battling for their party's nomination. Political handicappers consider the Senate seat a possible pickup for the GOP.

Vote her out of offfice. She is a waste of space.
I Hope she loses. We need more true Democrats to get things done because of the actions of the fear/hate/obstructionist/purity Republicans and the so call "blue dogs" code for Republican which Lincoln is one.
No matter which Democrat wins the nomination........And, no matter which Republican wins the nomination........
Based on all polls-–the Republican wins whether it is Lincoln or Halter.
The majority of these voters are conservative leaning-–and they are no way going to vote to put Lincoln or Halter into the seat.
Change is needed. Blanch has got to go
Blanche seems to be a class act.......unless you insist on "drill baby drill" in the gulf, and tax cuts for the rich, while the rest of the nation is shoved aside. Amazing how a lot of people want that mantra, but my guess is that they will check Blanche's name when their head clears.
Bye bye Blanche. Time to join the ranks of the unemployed which you helped grow with your policies of the fringe left.
what's the difference she is an republication any way . she didn't vote for health care. so later for her!! good for her!!!
This lady has no chance after she voted for Health Care.
Lincoln is the best the Democrats can hope for if they want to hold this seat.
Deal with it folks: She's a moderate-to-conservative senator in a moderate-to-conservative state.
"Political handicappers consider the Senate seat a possible pickup for the GOP."
Possible????
She'll win the dem primary... then get absolutely CRUSHED in the general. Sayonara, Blanche.
BYE BYE BLANCHE maybe she can draw unemployment for awhile. The job will be the same do nothing except take money from the taxpayer
Healthcare law, people have not forgotten your behaviour.
Throw her out!!!!! She does not deserve to be a senator. Good Bye!!!!
She needs to switch to the party of Lincoln since that is how she votes on every issue...
Blanche Lincoln needs to start packing....she's about to join the other unemployed folks.
