The Tolbert Report

Sen. Blanche Lincoln posts on her new “Blanche for Senate” website that Vice President Joe Biden will be taking a break from overseeing the doling out of the stimulus funds to come to Little Rock and stump for money for her Senatorial Campaign. The lunch fundraiser will take place at the Peabody Hotel on March 14 and $150 will get you in the door. I wonder if I promise not to eat if they will let me in the door with my flip cam.

Sen. Lincoln’s Press Release quotes her as saying, “The vice president’s values are consistent with the values of most Arkansas families and I look forward to welcoming him to Little Rock next month.”

I asked potential Senate opponent Tim Griffin for reaction and he said, “In 2007, the non-partisan National Journal ranked Joe Biden the 3rd most liberal senator in the U.S. Senate, even more liberal than Socialist Bernie Sanders. Sen. Lincoln should feel right at home with Vice President Biden.” I asked Griffin is he would be in town that day and he said, “I won’t be in town for the liberal lovefest. I will be on Army duty.”
