Pryor Trying to Avoid 2010 Comparison

Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR) “has had a target on his back since November 2010,” Roll Call reports.

“That’s when his home-state colleague, Democrat Blanche Lincoln, lost her bid for a third term by 21 points to then-Rep. John Boozman, a Republican.”

“Today, it’s impossible to evaluate his re-election chances next year without drawing comparisons to Lincoln’s double-digit defeat. And it’s quite a turn of affairs for Pryor, who won re-election in 2008 by 60 points.”
