The Senate Conservatives Fund announced Wednesday that it has made defeating Sen. Mark L. Pryor, Arkansas Democrat, its No. 1 priority in the 2014 election.

"Pryor won't be voting for any gun control unless he wants to lose his senate seat."

That might help him a little. It would help a lot more if he voted for Mitch McConnell for Majority leader instead of Harry Reid.

Thanks Red Steel.
The Senate Conservatives Fund... has made defeating Sen. Mark L. Pryor, Arkansas Democrat, its No. 1 priority in the 2014 election... [Zero] lost Arkansas by a 23.7 percentage point margin... in the 2012 election...
23.7 percent? The only way that could be effed up would be to havea self-described Tea Party favorite who transforms into a loose-lipped nutjob get the nomination.

When Pryor was running for his first term as Senator his opponent said that he wasn’t qualified to work at Taco Bell. I henceforth refer to him as Mark Pryor (D-Taco Bell).

BTW, his worthless father (David) made a Senate career out of scaring old people about Social Security.

Pryor should be 2014’s version of Ben Nelson (if he decided to run), an easy crushing. As long as the candidate chosen to face him doesn’t make Akin like comments.

I like this: Name the targets and go after them like a tiger on a rabbit.

Pryor was unopposed in 2008; didn’t Huckabee urge the GOP to leave him unopposed?
