GOP Sets Rules, Timing for Senate Straw Poll
posted 11/16/09

The state GOP on Monday announced the schedule and rules for a straw poll the party plans to hold December 5th during the Republican Leadership Summit in Hot Springs among those seeking the party's Senate nomination. So far, seven Republicans have said they want to seek the nomination to challenge Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln next year.
The party said in order to participate candidates will have to prove they've made their candidacy official with the Federal Election Commission, buy at least one block of ten $15 tickets to the event and prove that their campaign can afford to pay the $10,000 filing fee that's previously been required by the party for the office.
