Power Line has its take on the recent Senate election in Arkansas.

In my political science courses, incumbents who were forced into a runoff were dead meat. But everything depends on turnout. Who's votes will actually vote in the runoff? We don't know that, but we do know that turnout will be very low. I'd still bet that Lincoln loses on June 8. It seems a lot of people are just looking for a fresh face. On the other hand the left-wing Bill Halter does not fit the mood of voters today. So we will just wait and see.

Talk Business believes that Bill Halter has the momentum. D.C. Morrison's supporters won't be back for the runoff, it says.

If I were Bill Halter, I'd send Morrison a thank you note.
