LITTLE ROCK — Determined to outwork Sen. Blanche Lincoln on the eve of a Democratic primary that, polls say, he is unlikely to win, Lt. Gov. Bill Halter embarked on a 25-hour campaign swing Monday morning that will take him across the state and back again.
Halter began in far southern Arkansas, near the Louisiana border, while Lincoln scheduled her first event just a few miles from the Missouri line in the north. Halter has 20 stops on his schedule before he votes early Tuesday. Lincoln lists four.
Backed by millions of dollars from national labor unions and Democrats on the left, Halter aims, at a minimum, to deny Lincoln 50 percent of the vote and force a June 8 runoff with the help of the third candidate in the field, self-financed Little Rock conservative D.C. Morrison.
