Simply ghastly, we're nearly back to the pre-Huckabee bad old days (we ought to have been breaking 40 seats in the House !). Arkansas goes the wrong way while all its neighbor states are moving towards or have GOP majorities. I'm surprised so many Independents won at once. Do you know anything about them ? Are they GOP-leaning, or are they just rodent kooks ?
AR is too rural, too many elder folks addicted to Yellow dog RATism. Plus, it helps the RATS that many state reps are somewhat conservative.
Republicans, everywhere, were hit hard on Nov. 7th. At least in TN, Junior is learning about private sector and the state senate in still in GOP hands.
