Campaign
Arkansas had previously only elected one Republican senator since the Reconstruction, who was defeated after his first term in 2002 by Mark Pryor. Lincoln faced Lieutenant Governor Bill Halter and narrowly won the primary contest.
The political blog FiveThirtyEight ranked Lincoln the most vulnerable senator of this electoral cycle. RealClearPolitics claimed that in 2010 Lincoln had the potential for the lowest percentage of the vote for any incumbent since the nation first began directly electing senators.[20] Boozman received 58% of the vote in the general election and defeated Lincoln (37%), Libertarian Trevor Drown (3%) and Green John Gray (2%).
Lincoln heavily criticized Boozman of supporting the FairTax and privatization of Social Security.[21] She released an advertisement touting her support for earmarks.[22]
Debates
Lincoln and Boozman agreed to two debates.
- September 10: At the Peabody Hotel in Little Rock.[23]
