Stunning Number: 8% Say Incumbents Should Be Relected
According to this NYT poll, only 8% of Americans say that incumbents should be re-elected. 81% believe that "its time to give new people a chance." This brings two questions to my mind, "8% sounds kind of high to me, was that within their margin of error?" and "Is John Boozman leaving Congress to run for Senate anyone's idea of "new people"?"

I sure hope people are bright enough to realize electing somebody like Boozman to a different office is, indeed, keeping an incumbent.
Its too bad Boozman jumped in. We had two good candidates in Sen Holt and Sen Baker. Both were new freash faces. But with Boozman we'll be stuck with another boring bought off senator, just with a different letter behind their name.
I don't think Boozman is going to win the primary, and I'm certain he wouldn't beat Lincoln.
If Boozman wins the primary he will defeat Lincoln. Anyone could defeat her. But I think he will have problems in the primary.
