Little-known fact: The AR-02 Democratic race features one candidate who compares favorably with some of the most important people in American and world history. I’m talking, of course, about Patrick Kennedy. On his Facebook page, Kennedy released a non-proofread statement…

AR-Sen: New Halter Ad Asks One Question
[Unfortunately, it does so without an appropriate comma. The message still comes through loud and clear, however.] BHR’s thoughts on today’s debate (starring D.C. Morrison as the wise-cracking sidekick) are forthcoming.
AR-Sen: New DK/R2K Poll Suggests Run-Off Likely
New numbers out today from Daily Kos/Research 2000. Long story short, Blanche Lincoln has gained three points (up from 43 to 46), and Bill Halter has gained two (35 to 37) since the last DK/R2K poll was released. D.C. Morrison…
AR-Sen: Senate Dems Intentionally Delay Lincoln's Proposed Reforms
Remember way back before things got ugly, when Blanche Lincoln ran this ad: “I don’t answer to my party; I answer to Arkansas.” Interesting. You see, I would assume that someone who doesn’t answer to her party would similarly not…

AR-Sen: SEIU Attacks Lincoln On HCR
The Service Employees International Union launched an ad yesterday taking Sen. Lincoln to task on her “no” vote for the “fixes” package sent from the House to the Senate following passage of the Senate’s HCR bill. In response, Friends of…
AR-Land Comm: Bryant 2.0
Discussing Democratic candidate for Land Commissioner L.J. Bryant’s commercial a couple days ago, I wrote: I like the commercial; it’s straight-forward, well-done, does not mention Bryant’s opponents by name, and takes a stance on something that most voters would naturally…
AR-02: Let's See If This Works
The Arkansas Times tried to have a live feed of tonight’s AR-02 Democratic debate, but was unable to due to technical difficulties. Thankfully, the most adept candidate in this race in terms of technology and social media, John Adams, is…
