Bingo. Beebe has done more for the AR GOP as a Democrat than Huckster did for it as a Republican. Now that we’ve got a farm team going, hopefully that phony will never be heard from again in state politics.
Also, if I have the numbers correct, barring any Dem party switches, as of January, we will be at 18D-15R in the State Senate and 56D-44R in the State House, so we could have a majority by 2012. These are the numbers we should’ve had close to a decade ago, which Huckster’s incompetence stopped cold (and indeed, he caused our numbers to drop after 2000, not to rise again until 2008).
