This state is now owned by the rethugs
All of the former blue dogs dems have changed parties.
We now have zero, count that zero statewide elected dems
Pubs have super majorities in statehouse
Plus, it's a non prez year....our base doesn't turn out well then.....
I used to work my tail off volunteering in this state trying to turn it back around....now know it will only happen with a big change in demographics....we need more aas, Hispanics, young people, liberal northerners to move here.

(2 posts)I don't think Darr will get the nomination, it will most likely go to Cotton, who will make this a real race down to election night.
