Arkansas, Blanche, watch out. There's a liberal a-comin':

In the 24 hours after announcing his plans to challenge Sen. Blanche Lincoln in the Democratic primary, Arkansas Lt. Gov. Bill Halter raised more than $600,000, mostly through the efforts of a coalition of progressive groups who are directing their donors to support his campaign.

Oh, it gets better. The AFL-CIO pledged $3 million in independent expenditures to get Blanche outta there.

Check out his ad above. He's full of energy and rarin' to go.
