Nothing but Howard Dean like banter from a worthless hack stuck in a job that has no chance of succeeding...gaining ground in Northwest Ark. Home of the most conservative, red county voters in the entire state.
This was the district of the great John Paul Hammerschmidt (who gave me an appointment to the Naval Academy of which I didn't make the cut) who, in 1976, had a young, up and coming politician named Bill Clinton as an opponent. He had nothing to worry about and didn't.
Besides, all the real rich Arkansans like the Waltons and the Tysons live there.
The slickster was JP's opponent in 1974 (a fairly close race, too).
