Word from Slovak tonight is that Senator Bobby Glover was stumping for Tim
Wooldridge in the 1st Congressional race. Wooldridge was en route and got
stuck in weather/traffic and couldn’t make it to the annual Oyster Supper;
but apparently he’s in the race the Democratic nomination.

Glover also had him at the Arkansas Rice Growers Association meeting in
Brinkley yesterday, and I hear it went great.

A conservative like Wooldridge is the Democrat’s best hope for hanging on
to the seat! He ran strong…REAL STRONG…dominated the First District
in his race for Lt. Governor last election. Things are heating up on this snowy night!

Could it be that Sara Palin was referencing Rex when she held her fingers up just barely apart in that recent TAP photo/story? Could it be? Is that what you are inferring David?

You leave Bo Jack’s double first cousin out of this.

I don’t see how any of these post insult Kinkade in any way. I’m disappointed.

I always found it funny how a congressman with a well funded operation put his Jonesboro office in the worst possible place: a street (Huntington Ave.) locally notorious for prostitution. Really, congressional politics is just that, the only thing is that in congress, it’s nearly impossible to figure out exactly who’s the pimp, who’s the hooker, and who’s the john.

Crash: I thought “demoncrats” was a “crazy person says what?” moment as well.

Cameron: You raise a good point, so I’m drafting up my ad plan right now. It reads “To purchase advertising on The Arkansas Project, please send a large canvas bag full of money with a big dollar sign printed on the side.” I think that should cover it.

The last gubernatorial race was the first in which there was no incumbent in a long, long time. I wonder how long it has been since there was an election cycle in Arkansas in which there were two congressional seats with no incumbent? And, if Boozman looking at a shot for Blanche’s seat, that could mean three open congressional seats in a single election cycle.

The television stations, radio stations, print media, and a few of the more successful blogs and websites (TAP included) must be licking their chops at all the possible advertising money out there. A contested US Senate seat, two and possibly three contested US Congress seats, and a sprinkling of open constitutional offices will make for one of the most interesting and expensive state-wide election cycles in history.

David, when all those big advertising bucks start rolling in, don’t forget that $50.00 you owe me, old buddy…
