There aren’t even any declared, let alone potential, candidates for most of the AR statewide offices next year (only one for Lt Governor). It’s hard to overstate how badly Huckster crippled the state GOP, setting it back 4 decades during the course of his term (in 1967, we had three Republicans in major office there - in 2009, we have one, down from 5 under Huckster). All efforts there despite second-tier candidates, are going to be focused on taking down the vulnerable Sen. Blanche Lincoln. Beebe will probably get a pass.
Man that sucks. I felt the same thing happened here in NM when Richardson got reelected. I didn’t hear about any candidate and then some time around the election some old guy comes on TV and he happens to be the candidate for governor. Pretty sad.
I agree that Beebe will likely get a pass, unless he does a 180 on the polls. Recent polling reveals Senator Blanche Lincoln to be extremely vulnerable, but the same polls show Beebe with a superb approval rating.
