After a long day crisscrossing Arkansas in a motorhome, Tom Cotton receives a rock star’s welcome when he walks into the Craighead County Republican Headquarters in northeast Arkansas. He is there to thank volunteers who have been doggedly working the phones to get voters out to the polls.
"I've largely played the part I can play," he tells the crowd. "Now, it's up to you."
The work Cotton has done since he declared he would challenge incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor has him going into Election Day with a head of steam. The latest Real Clear Politics average has him up 7 points, a lead outside the margin of error.
“Arkansans are ready for a change in Washington,” Rep. Cotton told Fox News. “They know that Senator Pryor has been supporting the Obama agenda 93 percent of the time and that doesn’t reflect [Arkansas'] conservative values.”
Cotton has relentlessly pushed the point that a vote for Pryor is a vote to continue the agenda of President Obama. The president is very unpopular in Arkansas. Mitt Romney won this state in 2012 by 24 points.
Throughout the race, Pryor has kept his distance from the president, never asking him to come and campaign for him. At the same time, Pryor was happy to welcome native son Bill Clinton to the Arkansas campaign trail.
In recent days, Pryor has gone farther than he ever has to put daylight between himself and the president, telling Fox News that the biggest liability in his re-election bid is Obama.
“Well, you know, he has been a drag. I mean, I am just going to be honest about that,” Pryor said. “People here know that I have had my fair share of disagreements with him. You can look at gun control issues, Keystone pipeline.

Am I imagining things, or does Mark Pryor hear a fat lady singing?
We get Cotton’s TV ads via KY3 from Springfield, MO, which reaches the northern Arkansas counties.
I like this guy’s style.
Double entendre time...
*APPLAUSE* Glad to hear this! :)
No blow, no sandwhich...yeah he’s done!
Yea he is most def. IN drag.
Well, of course a guy named Cotton is going to do well in a southern state. Am I right, Mary Landrieu? Up high!
I suspect he would do well in every cotton-picking state.
The Reggie Blues
Kind of a drag when your baby says good-bye,
Kind of a drag when when you feel like you wanna cry.
Oh, girl,
(LISTEN TO ME WHEN I’M SPEAKIN’, ‘CAUSE YOU KNOW THE WORDS I’M MAKIN’)
Even though you made me feel blue,
(AND I KNOW THAT YOU’VE BEEN CHEATIN’, OH, I HOPE THAT WE’LL BE MEETIN’.)
I still love you,
(OOH, I STILL LOVE YOU.)
I’ll always love you
(OOH, I’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.)
Anyway, anyway, anyway.
(Organ Solo)
Skip the organ solo, trust me on this.
I can already see the headlines in all the left-wing Arkansas papers: Arkansans Pick Cotton.
Dems try to gin up the vote.
I see what you did there. Good one.
