From Shaila Dewan in Arkansas — As the voting hours wended to a close, Lt. Gov. Bill Halter, refreshed after a 25-hour campaign spree the night before, made an appearance at a precinct in Hillcrest, a liberal enclave in Little Rock. He seemed to be sandbagging his expectations for the results. Mr. Halter said that even if he did not win outright, putting Senator Blanche Lincoln into a runoff would be a victory.

“I think any reasonable political observer would say that when a two-term incumbent senator and someone with 16 years of experience in Washington is put into a runoff in her own party primary, that’s a tough sign for the incumbent,” he said.

Then he reminded his audience that he had been running for only 11 weeks. “Most folks when they run statewide, it takes them 11 months,” he said. “Some folks work two, three years to get together a statewide campaign.”
