I missed this yesterday, but I think it’s worth a read. It’s the Blanche Lincoln campaign’s response to Bill Halter’s opening day.
Her point seems to be that Halter said different things to different people. I think he was pretty consistent, if not as definitive as I’d hoped and expected on several points.

Lincoln seems to be critical of Halter on health for 1) being for a “public option,” which she opposes in any form, and 2) not being for a suitably robust public option, as some liberal supporters prefer.
A candidate who supports some broadening of government-administered health care is, no matter how you slice it, a better option than Lincoln on that issue.
