(CNN) - Former President Bill Clinton is once again lending assistance to embattled Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln, who is in a fight for her political life in her home state of Arkansas.
Clinton stumped for Lincoln during a dramatic primary election in which Lincoln narrowly clinched the Democratic nomination after a runoff against Arkansas Lt. Gov Bill Halter.
In an email sent on Tuesday, Clinton appeals to Lincoln's supporters for donations, touting Lincoln's Senate credentials and writing "I know I am preaching to the saved."
Additionally, Clinton eviscerates the Republican Senate nominee, four-term Rep. John Boozman, for his position on taxes, Medicare and social security.
In the email, Clinton acknowledges Lincoln's precarious position; "I've seen the polls and yes, this is going to be a tough fight," he writes.
A recent Mason-Dixon poll of likely Arkansas voters indicated that Boozman holds a 17- point lead over Lincoln. Other recent surveys suggest that Boozman's lead is even larger.

If the woman can't win without BIll Clinton putting in his 2 cents, then she must not be very good.
Who in their right mind would listen to anything that Bill Clinton has to say. Clinton provided to China advanced computer technology that set them ahead twenty years of where they were in industrial applications, now they own us. Now he wants to slam Republicans for destroying our economy, get real, this guy did more damage to America than Barry O will even come close too. Oh, I know his legendary surplus billions that Bush burned up, take a moment and think of where he neglected to spend that surplus saved in our National Defense and where Bush ended up having to spend the surplus, 9/11 attack and the following results ring a bell? I can't wait for the vote...November is going to be such a sweet month.
Time for new blood.....not more of the same.
ET phone home
Clinton doesn't know how to use Email. who sent this for him?
