DescriptionIt would appear to be official -- $20,000 or so of fund-raising and, I suppose, word from on High, has encouraged Jim Holt, the former state senator and two-time loser at statewide races, to enter the crowded Republican primary race for U.S. Senate to oppose incumbent Democrat Blanche Lincoln.

Holt got 44 percent on no money against Lincoln six years ago. He hasn't gotten any more normal since then, but it's possible that the electorate has moved to his edge of the zany meter, particularly in the Republican primary. We shall see. He spins his losing race for lieutenant governor four years ago as a ticket-leading performance by a statewide Republican candidate. Yes, but ... consider the field.
