All's I know is that not a single person running for federal office in Arkansas - including four D's - had an opponent. Their state legislature is like 3:1 D's to Republicans. They might vote red on a federal level, but that is a state that is absolutely dominated by Democrats on the state and local levels.

i know there was a huge amount of folks with no opponent. but i remember when pryor ran against hutchison, i voted for pryor. when some ultra-zealot nutjob was running for lt. gov--oh yeah, halter, that guy's a freak--i voted for our current, democrat lt.governor-and he's the one who got the lottery on the ballot, and it passed-amazing! now, we're all going to hell apparently because of gambling.

Wow, I had no idea it was so Democrat leaning in-state.

But Arkansas STILL has more slot machines at thoroughbred racetracks than the 'progressive' state of New York

oh, those aren't slot machines!! they're instant wagering machines...


like i said, it's an odd state. most call themselves democrat, but you saw which pres candidate carried the state.
