Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), who is being challenged from the left in her Democratic primary, has a big Democratic name coming to her aide: Former Bill Clinton campaign strategist and current political pundit James Carville, who has written a fundraising e-mail for the incumbent’s campaign.

“When I lived in Arkansas during President Clinton’s campaign, I learned a lot about the Arkansas spirit. Blanche is an Arkansan through and through – and as you and I both know, Arkansans don’t quit, even when the going gets tough. Blanche Lincoln is the real deal,” the Ragin’ Cajun says in the e-mail. “I’ve watched her stand face to face with Presidents and leaders from both parties and tell them they were wrong when their proposals didn’t benefit Arkansas. She’s been standing up for you, but let me tell you, there has never been a better time to stand with her.”

Dear Friend,

I love politics and I’ve been paying close attention to what’s been going on during this campaign. And I have one thought about Blanche Lincoln: One. Tough. Lady.

While some other folks have decided to throw in the towel this election season, Blanche decided to jump into this race feet first and head strong. But then again Blanche has never been one to take the easy road. I’ve seen people underestimate her before. She always proves them wrong.

And she has done it each time because she had you standing with her. She is up against a fundraising deadline and pundits and opponents alike will be picking the results apart. Even a $5 contribution can help show them that this tough lady is running to win.

All the doubters are going to use the March 31 fundraising deadline to measure the strength of this campaign.

Click here to make an immediate contribution of $5 or more and show all the naysayers that Arkansans are truly behind Blanche.

Blanche has been a constant advocate for Arkansas. She has lead bipartisan initiatives to expand health coverage to millions of uninsured working families, create a new energy policy, and target tax cuts to the middle class. To me, it is clear that Blanche is the type of Senator you’d want representing you. She has that Arkansas common-sense that more people in Washington need to listen to. That’s why it’s important for you and I to stand with her today.

Click here to stand with Blanche. She’s been fighting for sensible solutions and she needs you standing with her. By contributing just $5 before the March 31 deadline, you can help make a big difference in this election.

Sincerely,

James Carville
