*'''Arkansas'''

Moderate Democrat [[Blanche Lincoln]] may be one of Republicans top targets in 2010. In the [[2008 Presidential Election]], Arkansas was one of the few states where [[John McCain]] exceeded [[George W. Bush]]’s margin, despite the national trend favoring Democrats. In an attempt to appeal to her conservative constituents Lincoln voted against the [[Employee Free Choice Act]] (card check) and has stated opposition to the public option in [[health care]]. Lincoln may face a primary challenger from state Senate president pro tempore Bob Johnson, who say's he's openly considering running. Announced Republican candidates include State Senator and former state GOP chair [[Gilbert Baker]] (considered the front-runner for the nomination) Arkansas Senate Minority Leader [[Kim Hendren]], Retired army colonel Conrad Reynolds, and Tom Cox, Founder of the Arkansas Tea Party. A December 2009 Rasmussen poll shows every Republican challenger leading Blanche Lincoln. <ref>http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections2/election_2010/election_2010_senate_elections/arkansas/2010_arkansas_senate_lincoln_runs_behind_four_gop_challengers</ref> The National Republican Senatorial Committee has withheld from endorsing a candidate.
