FOX Roundtable this week brings introduction to the new on the national political scene, Congressman Tom Cotton of Arkansas. Articulate and knowledgeable and a Republican who is not shy in the public arena, particularly important when TV appearance is involved. He would resolve the sequestration dilemma by leaving the defense spending basically as is and favors cutting unnecessary, and or frivolous, social programs. Based on his military service in Iraq he supports the drone program because it is under the purview of the CIC, the US President. He further said that a federal judge should never be involved in military operations. When Wallace asked first term Congressman Cotton his thoughts about Senator Marco Rubio responding to the upcoming State of the Union address by President Obama, he was enthusiastic in that Rubio is a fresh young voice (as is Cotton) for the Republican party and thinks his selection is a good choice. POWERLINE blog has an interesting writeup on Tom Cotton's background. Impressive. Oh,the South East Arkansas Tea Party Express enthusiastically endorsed him and held a rally in Hot Springs on his behalf. Tom Cotton won and became the fourth Republican congressman from Arkansas.

With the election of Tom Cotton, all four of Arkansas' Congressmen are now Republicans. There have been Republican Congressmen in the past but this is the current makeup of our Congressional representatives.
