— Republican Senate nominee John Boozman said he's standing for more than "Beat Blanche" in his bid to unseat Democratic Sen. Blanche Lincoln in Arkansas.

Boozman on Tuesday defended himself against criticism from Lincoln and told The Associated Press that he believes she's targeting him out of frustration with poor poll numbers in the state. Lincoln over the weekend said Boozman was offering voters little in terms of accomplishments beyond wanting to defeat her in the general election.

Boozman is the state's only Republican congressman. Lincoln is chairman of the Senate agriculture committee and is seeking a third term in the Senate.

Most polls show Boozman leading Lincoln. But Lincoln has raised more money and has more in the bank than Boozman for the November election.
