I knew it had been one of the Arkansas Senate races that we lost for some stupid reason, and I knew it was the less intelligent of a pair of Republican brothers in NW Arkansas, but I misremembered the family.
BTW, I still think that Asa Hutchinson should be in the Senate despite his brother Tim’s screw-up; if John Boozman could get elected in a landslide despite his brother Fay’s stupid rape-pregnancy statement from 12 years before (while running against the same woman who beat her brother: Blanche Lincoln), then Asa can beat Pryor in 2014 despite Asa’s brother having betrayed his constituents’ confidence and having lost to Pryor 12 years before.
Well that explains why that 1998 race was a blowout for Lincoln.
And if that’s the only reason it wasn’t close....Akin better fing quit. Why does the deadline have to be TOMORROW.
The number of Senate races that have been stolen or BLOWN or punted on (when popular candidates won’t run) is staggering. We could have 67 damn seats instead of 47.
