Jim Bob Duggar was a three term state representative. He is a telegenic fellow with great magnetism who ran a wretched campaign. He was running because he did not agree with what Washington was doing to Hutchinson, morals wise, but felt he could not say so. Since he and Tim agreed on the issues, that left him with absolutely nothing to say. He tried to beat a sitting senator in a primary with a substancless campaign. That was not a very smart thing to do, but I still don't see why, from New Hampshire, you can look down and say he was not a real candidate.

Because I followed the campaign and his candidacy was a joke. I can guarantee you that he wouldn't have come within a hundred miles of that nomination had Tim decided to pull a Torch and not run for re-election. I'm from Arkansas and I have worked in campaigns there and read the Arkansas papers (the DemGaz, the Morning News, etc.) about the race.
