John Brummett compares the Lincoln/Halter race with the 1972 Senate race between John McClellan and David Pryor. The two races are similar. Pryor was the young turk who was expected to win, but the old bull McClellan tore him up in a debate in which McClellan went after Pryor's labor supporters. Lincoln needs to agree to a debate, and quickly. She should be prepared to attack, attack, and attack his labor connections.
