I’m paraphrasing, natch, but there’s a reason why this ad is heavy on human imperfection and verrry light on party identification. Pryor’s rightly worried about how the Democratic agenda’s playing at home in Arkansas, and by “agenda” I don’t mean raising the minimum wage. Odds that a future ad will include the phrase “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”: 95 percent.
Actually, O-Care’s only half his problem. The other half, Sean Trende argues, is that all signs over the past year point to an even steeper than expected drop-off for Democrats in 2014.
Taken together, of the 170 contested elections that have been held this year for state legislative seats, for federal office, or for statewide office, the Democrat ran ahead of President Obama’s 2012 showing in only 27 races. By contrast, the Democrat ran more than 10 points behind the president’s showing in 47 races. On average, Democrats ran 5.9 percentage points behind the president, with a median drop-off of 6.4. Even if we knock a point off of these numbers to account for the Chris Christie effect in many of these races, that’s still a big decline.
What does this mean for 2014? Possibly nothing. There is a lot of football left to be played, the president’s job approval rating could rally significantly, the Democrats could become enthused, and drop-off could become a non-issue.
But if that doesn’t happen, Democrats have a real headache coming on. Let’s assume they can expect a drop-off of four to five points from Obama’s 2012 performance, all other things being equal. Twenty-eight House Democrats occupy seats where Obama won less than 55 percent of the vote. More disturbingly for Mr. Jackson’s Party, 13 Senate seats fall into this category. This is consistent with what we’ve seen in polling: Democrats putting up terrible numbers in places like Louisiana, Arkansas and North Carolina, while races in states like Michigan and Iowa are looking surprisingly tight.
Bottom line: If the GOP can’t beat this stiff, who also voted for amnesty, in a conservative state with a Harvard Law grad turned decorated veteran as its nominee, it should disband. Exit question via David Freddoso, who notes that Republicans, of course, have played this game too: Who’s witnessing for whom here?
Hasn't been Mr. Jackson's party since at least the 1960's. More like Mr. Stalin's ...
Oh, we can forgive you . . . but it will be a cold day in hell before we vote for you again.
Forgiving and voting for you are two very separate and distinct issues.
I have forgiven my ex-wife for walking, but I would never ever consider putting our marriage back together . . . she has proven repeatedly that I cannot have confidence in her. Same thing with Pryor and the rest of the Rats who voted for ObamaCare.
How does he know he’s forgiven?
That is freakin’ despicable.
So the doofus is admitting his poor judgement.
Remind me again, aren’t these folks hired (elected) precisely for their ability for sober judgement? So what is he offering instead of his good judgement?
Well, to be fair, he said that God CAN forgive him, not that He has forgiven him.
I can forgive the bum but that does not mean I would re-hire him.
However, even with forgiveness, there come consequences. God doesn't make the consequences of our bad decisions/sins go away - just ask Sampson.
The Arkansas voters should make sure that Mr. Pryor faces the consequences of his vote(s).
He admits the error of his vote. Step one.
He should make amends. Step nine. Resign.
Voters should help in his recovery.
The reply should be, “And if God can forgive me for voting for your opponent, then why can’t you?”

LOL... That is great!
As others have said in previous posts - I am not God.
And as such, I feel fully free to loath you, you piece of senate sewage (redundancy there, I know). Roast in hell, right after enduring a long and painful torture here on earth, you piece of .....
Remember, ‘senator’ is Latin for excrement.
I’d like to see if he’s sincere about his “repentance” -— WILL YOU, MARK PRYOR, SUPPORT TED CRUZ IN HIS FIGHT TO REPEAL OBAMACARE?
Will you work just as hard to have it repealed?
If not, you are POSTURING.
God forgave David, but he still had to pay the penalty of losing the son of his sin. There is always a cost for sin either in this life or the next.
Because you belong to the party that booed God
Doggone sidewinder!
Cause I ain’t heard God say he was forgiving you for that shit....
Pryor is toast.
the real battleground will be in Senate races
like, Mich, Iowa, and NH
Even with forgiveness, there are 'temporal consequences due to sin'.
Which is why (if I'm lucky) I'll be spending some time in Purgatory.
And also why Pryor needs to spend some time in the wilderness. :-D
