The raw numbers clearly show that over 56,000 who voted for Huckabee did not vote Republican for senator. That is not in debate. The reasons for their decision can, however, be debated. The total vote for governor was 905,332, and the total vote for senator was 803,959. Undoubtedly some voted Huckabee and Pryor. Probably none to speak of voted Hutchinson and Fisher, the Democrat gubernatorial candidate strongly endorsed by AR Bill.

Correction: the AR gubernatorial vote total on Nov. 5, 2002, was 805,332, just 2,000 more than the senatorial contest total.
