David,

So true. I’ll still submit that there are strong arguments for Obama making a play here. But if you look at the poll numbers compared to those in PA, OH, FL, MI, NC, CO, NV, IN, WI. NH and ND I can understand why he’s focusing his efforts elsewhere. Of course, this race could come down to New Hampshire’s four electoral votes. Obama might have wished that he had focused some resources in Arkansas. Time will tell.

John,
Especially since it’s not really “developing,” other than me waiting for the state GOP to send out a press release in a couple of weeks.

Impressive use of the Drudge Report’s breathless promise of good things go come: “Developing. . .” What a masterful ellipsis! (Or Biden-like plagiarism, I’m not sure which.)

Arkansas voters are more than capable of splitting their tickets and many will this year. However, the RPA is going to win legislative seats that are in mostly Republican areas already. Look for the Republicans to pickup seats in Saline, White, North Pulaski,and Washington Counties.

Is that true? Will McCain/Palin have any effect that far down the ballot in Arkansas? Seems to me that Arkansas voters have demonstrated their capacity for split-ticket voting plenty of times.

The good thing about Obama being on the ticket is that it is going to help the RPA pick up about 5 state house seats this year.

The Democrats super-majority in the legislature is going to shrink now that Huckabee isn’t undermining every Republican legislative candidate in the State.

She may come for a get out the vote rally which would sure help the Republican Legislative candidates.

Blake,
You have to understand, it’s so rare that an Arkansas Republican gets to trash talk that we have to make the most of those opportunities when they come around.
