Clinton: Dems fighting anger, apathy and amnesia
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Former President Bill Clinton says it would be a “terrible mistake” for Arkansas voters to defeat Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln and lose her post chairing the Senate Agriculture Committee.
Clinton returned to his home state on Wednesday to rally support for Lincoln’s re-election bid and to raise money for two Democratic congressional hopefuls.
Clinton said Lincoln can overcome the odds and win re-election if she addresses the issues and Democrats don’t focus on anger, apathy and amnesia. Clinton acknowledged that Lincoln faces a tough fight.
Lincoln is running against Republican Congressman John Boozman in the November election. Most polls show Lincoln badly trailing Boozman, even though she has raised more money. Clinton headlined an event marking Lincoln’s one-year anniversary as chairwoman of the Agriculture Committee.
