Gee, that sounds familiar...

Blanche Lincoln's knife edge survival (until November anyway) story at Salon.com had something that sounded awfully familiar...

Arkansas insiders told Salon the buzz in the state was that the incumbent had started visiting and calling people she hadn't talked to in a while; the prospect of losing helped shake her into doing the stuff politicians need to do as a matter of course to avoid getting into trouble in the first place.

Hmmmm.
