[Author’s foreward: A little under two weeks ago, I did a series of posts on Representative Mark Martin and his shady, improper, and arguably illegal/unethical actions. See here, here, here, here, and here. Following those posts, however, I realized that…

AR-02: New Motto For The Dem-Gaz Opinion Page — "Like Fox News, Only With A Much Smaller Audience"
I finally got around to reading the pro-Timmy! Griffin op-ed that appeared in the “Democrat”-Gazette a few days ago. Even by that paper’s standards, the column was disgusting. Let’s get right to dissecting this thing. LITTLE ROCK — WITH THE…
AR-02: Poll On, Family; Poll On, Crew
By now, pretty much anyone who cares about such things has heard about the Talk Business poll showing Timmy! Griffin leading Joyce Elliot by a whopping seventeen points. In a survey conducted on Tuesday night, August 17, 2010, Griffin leads…
AR-02: Well, At Least She Didn't Choose Gilbert Baker, I Guess
Joyce Elliott has picked former opponent Robbie Wills to be her Faulkner County chairperson. (h/t Tolbert Report) While the whole thing is a little surprising, the part that confuses me is why Wills would do it. I mean, if Wills…
AR-02 In The Blogs: Timmy! v. Elliott Is Must-See TV
Or whatever the political equivalent of “must-see TV” is, according to Suzi Parker’s article for Talk Business. The most interesting race in Arkansas may not be between Senator Blanche Lincoln and Rep. John Boozman. Rather the battle to watch? The…

AR-02: Elliott's New Ad Rings Familiar Bell
Update: Because I don’t think I was totally clear in the post that follows, I just wanted to put up front that I think it was a good ad in that it had a snappy punchline and called Wills out…
AR-Sen: "Lincoln’s cynically dishonest campaign" Costs Her At Least One Vote
That would be the vote of John Brummett. Brummett’s stance is interesting to me primarily because it was only late last month that he wrote: I would tell you how I’m newly thinking of voting in this race, but I…
5 Questions: Bill Halter
[The second in BHR’s 5 Questions series. For an explanation, see here. For our previous 5 Questions responses, see here.] 1. Senator Lincoln has tried time and time again to tie your name to “outsourcing.” As a real response to…
AR-Sen: Lincoln Uses Indian Imagery In Mailer
Last Friday, I mentioned this racist anti-Halter ad, and opined: One would hope that the [Blanche] Lincoln campaign would denounce the ad tomorrow if not sooner (though, at this point, I won’t hold my breath). After all, given that Lincoln…
