Senator Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas faced an uphill battle against the popular lieutenant governor, Bill Halter. Neither reached the 50-percentage threshold, so they’ll got to a runoff on June 8.

From Shaila Dewan: At her brightly lit election night party at the Holiday Inn Presidential, Ms. Lincoln addressed the crowd and proposed a couple of ground rules for the three-week runoff.

“I want to call on Bill Halter to end all of his negative ads, and I will too,” she said. “We also need to call on every one of these outside groups to take their negative ads down and go home. We need to make this campaign about Arkansas and the people of Arkansas and who we are and what we believe in.”
