I certainly hope not. I'm a religious conservative, but not everybody is, even in Arkansas. Louisiana and Arkansas still have a taste for Dems, as the defeat of Hutchinson and the reelection of Landrieu proves. You've got to field serious candidates, esp to defeat incumbents. I hope Holt is one such individual.....
I have heard Jim Holt speak and was impressed with his ability to articulate specific issues of concern to Arkansans. He is energetic, positive, and smart. I think his wife is an asset also and very supportive of his campaign. Arkansas would benefit from his election to the senate in many ways, not the least of which would be that once again we would have senatorial access to the White House. Jim Hold can provide another conservative voice for Arkansas at the national level and be a loyal supporter of Pres Bush that he can count on. We have supported him financially and have a big HOLT sign next to our US flag. Holt is a good man and our prayers are with him for success in his senate campaign to defeat his liberal opponent, Blanche Lincoln.
