Given that we’ve covered the pointless anachronism of the Oxford American many times on these pages, it’s about all that’s required — particularly given that Rex’s post linked here is the same unabashed boosterism the magazine’s enthusiasts are forever trying to force down our throats.

Look you use what you can. The republicans have got to worried about a guy like Drown as an independent because they need to find a way to stay as a viable political party. If the don’t run someone against Beebe, they could very well have to get signatures for eveyone who runs in 2012. And from what I have seen with his shooting from the hip and the idaretomakeadifference.com grass roots thing, he could easily get the signatures he needs and thst is even withoutthe Dems helping out.
