Given the overwhelming negative response to Robbie Wills’ most recent mailer, you would think that he and his camp would have had the common sense not to continue down that path. You would be wrong. Ugh. Jeff already hit on…

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-03 In The Blogs: Whitaker In The Catbird Seat?
Roby Brock thinks that might be the case if Cecile Bledsoe and Steve Womack continue their snippy campaigning. In other Arkansas federal races, candidates and campaigns are debating issues ranging from Social Security to veterans to gun laws and abortion.…
AR-01: Causey Launches New Ad, "Quotes" BHR
OK, first, the ad. I like it. While I credited Bill Halter and L.J. Bryant recently for not mentioning their opponents, I think Chad Causey is smart to mention Tim Wooldridge here. Wooldridge has gone on the offensive by playing…
AR-Land Comm: [Update] Bryant Denies Involvement With Email
I just received a voicemail from L.J. Bryant, saying: I’m trying to figure out what’s going on. I didn’t send those emails. Apparently someone has done a good job [faking the emails]. My gut reaction is that, if he’s not…
AR-Land Comm: [Breaking] Bryant Behind greedymontydavenport.com ?

AR-Land Comm: Bryant's New Commercial
Nicely done. Despite Monty Davenport’s recent attacks on L.J. Bryant’s plans for the Land Commissioner’s office, Bryant does not use the commercial to mention Davenport or try to directly rebut his attacks. Rather, it’s a solid message of “I finished…
AR-Land Comm: Davenport's Role In The Continued Exploitation of Crooked Creek
With early voting for the June 8 preferential primary runoff election starting today and BP’s profits-over-protection methods still in the news, I thought it might be interesting to take a look at Monty Davenport’s record of putting himself and his…
AR-Sen: DK/R2K Poll Shows Halter With Narrow Lead
Daily Kos in conjunction with Research 2000 has released a new AR-Sen poll. The long and short of it is that Bill Halter leads Blanche Lincoln 47-44, with 9% still undecided (MOE +/- 5%) . You can find the entire…
AR-Sen: Philander Smith as Prop?
That’s the charge by Bill Halter, anyway. On the eve of former President Bill Clinton’s planned return to Arkansas to boost Sen. Blanche Lincoln’s reelection campaign, Democratic primary challenger Bill Halter’s campaign is charging Lincoln with “hypocrisy” over the venue…
