I'm sure Ms Blanche is having a grin about all of the above. By the time 2010 rolls around she better be fearing a New Deal Democrat.

Oh boy...I hope Tim runs...talk about a load of fun material to work with. As a candidate, Tim might (MIGHT) happen upon a reporter who will hold his feet to the accountability fire by asking him some questions he can't/won't answer.

Throw your hat in, Tim.

It's Tim Griffin, floating a trial balloon for himself.

But that Special Counsel could be a problem.

Another problem is - he's Tim Griffin.

Another thing that's wrong with America...used to be when someone was publicly embarrassed they slunk off and was never heard from again. These days they try to be as out there in our face as Oprah.

First of all, who cares what Tim Griffin thinks? I have no love for Pantsuit Blanche, but I have less love for Griffin's opinion. I'd like both of them to be buried under the sands of time and look forward to better representation in Washington. I not the least interested in listening to a pick-pocket's low opinion of a crack dealer. And I wonder if Tim Griffin will still be able to run his blog from prison???

The only thing the republicans are detrmining for 2010 is what sacrifcial lamb they will nominate for Sen Lincoln to crush.

Once again, if you weren't paying attention, my favorite part of Tim's Wikipedia entry:

From June 2002 to December 2004, Griffin was Research Director and Deputy Communications Director for Bush's 2004 reelection campaign. In October 2004, journalist and author Greg Palast alleged that Griffin was involved in an effort to target 70,000 voters - students, deployed military personnel and homeless people in predominantly African American and Democratic areas - for vote caging during the 2004 election.[2][3]. Monica Goodling said in her oral and written testimony to the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary on May 23, 2007, that Griffin's alleged vote caging activities were desirable for Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty to be informed of, in relation to Griffin's potential Senate confirmation as a U.S. attorney.[4]
In July 2007 it was reported that "Internal city memos show the issue of Republican 'vote caging' efforts in Jacksonville's African-American neighborhoods was discussed in the weeks before the 2004 election, contradicting recent claims by former Duval County Republican leader Mike Hightower - the Bush-Cheney campaign's local chairman at the time."[5].

He's a cagey cager, gosh darn it.

I posted on the anti-Arkansas Project:
Since the Republicans can't seem to find candidates to run even on the district level and no candidates (without tin-foil hats) for governor in 2010, I think it's more likely that bad-boy elections trickster Griffin must mean that Blanche has a couple of Green Party challengers.

I'd be more worried about a strong Democratic challenge if I were Blanche. She better hope Vic Synder doesn't want to be a senator.

"I think it's more likely that bad-boy elections trickster Griffin must mean that Blanche has a couple of Green Party challengers." - Jim Lendall

Sorry Jim, can't be a Green. Tim used the words "formidable opponent."

It's LINCOLN - HUCKABEE, definitely.

(Somehow the Lincoln - Huckabee debates just don't have the same ring or gravitas as the Lincoln - Douglas debates, do they)

You're right, Natural,
As long as Arkansas Democrats keep voting like Republicans, there can't be much hope for Arkansas.

But Griffin said "formidable opponent," so that eliminates anyone who runs as a Republican. Judging from the anemic slate of Republicans running this year, a Green would be more formidable.

To remain as a "legitimate" (I use the term jokingly) political party in Arkansas, the Republicans will have to get at least 3% of the vote for Governor in 2010 or get 10,000 signatures on petitions. They better get started on the petitions. Maybe they can recruit from the left wing of the party and get Jim Johnson to run for Governor.

Been thinking about it for an hour and can't think of a Republican who could beat Miss Blank.

If she gets beat, it will be by a true democrat.

I nominate strangelove.

Where is that lad anyway?

It's hard to take any political party seriously when they have their website hosted in the UK and not in the US.
