WASHINGTON (AP) -- Arkansas Sen. Blanche Lincoln has become the first Senate Democratic incumbent to fall in Tuesday's election.

The two-term Democrat was defeated by Rep. John Boozman.

Lincoln's loss was another boost to Republicans who were already cheering the victories of two tea party candidates, Rand Paul in Kentucky and Marco Rubio in Florida.

Democrats are fighting off a GOP resurgence that could shift the balance of power in Washington. Republicans need to gain 10 seats to take back control of the Senate they lost in 2006.

Lincoln campaigned hard on her status as a moderate. Boozman challenged Lincoln's independence, saying she was too closely aligned with the Obama White House. Subscribe to *Elections 2010*

"Blanche Lincoln was the recipient of lots of money in a primary where she narrowly held off Bill Halter. Progressives who donated heavily to Halter were told in that race that they were wasting their time and their money. But Lincoln was nowhere the entire race, and got smoked tonight. There was almost no chance that she would ever pull that seat out. Exactly who engaged in a pointless exercise, then?

To say that Lincoln was a casualty of the “liberal base” in Arkansas neglects the fact that she was right where she wanted to be. She had a hard-right candidate to her right and a candidate to her left in the primary. I hear Lawrence O’Donnell gloating that the liberal base “took her out,” tsk-tsking liberals who opposed her, but this is exactly how she ran her entire Senate career, and exactly how she wanted to run – right down the middle. She was rewarded by losing miserably.

The message here is not that you shouldn’t run primaries – it’s that you should run candidates with a chance in hell of winning general elections."
