does Cain have any shot, or simply not enough name ID?

[Redmen4ever]

RICH FARMER elected Ag Commissioner in Kentucky ... of course, Rich Farmer is a Republican.

Im dying to know myself and I live in WA.

I'm a former Arkansan, too. The state is almost hopeless. The 3 Dem CDs aren't even competitive. The Dems just sleepwalk to re-election. In a good GOP year in 2002, no one stepped forward to run for AG-- it was just surrendered to the Dems. Run Mark Pryor for Gov and Fisher for Senate, and we would have lost both last year.

AAAAH, life isn't sucky anymore!

AAAAAH, it's looking GOOD thus far.

I guess that makes me feel better, I live in Alabama, so I could say this election has some impact on me, okay, who am I kidding...

The only thing important to me about beating Musgrove is so he couldn't appoint Senators in a resignation or tragedy or he would be weakened in a statewide run himself.

Ashcroft will have a hard time getting renominated. Rumsfield might, too, if he is invited back.

Sorry, but what does this sentence mean?

[wylenetheconservative]

Yes. MS and the rest of the deep south are much different in mentality from AR. They have "southern culture", while AR has "hillbilly culture", similar to West Virginia. AR is much whiter than the rest of the deep South, but also has a much poorer and less educated white populace. The only real wealth in the state is concentrated in a few neighborhoods in Little Rock and in the Northwest corner where Wal-Mart is headquartered. The rest of the state is pretty much a desolate wasteland of welfare and shoddy living conditions.

Yes, like I said Coverdell was the first (R) since Reconstruction to be re-elected. Mattingly was a fluke because of Talmadge.

[stboz]

Hot damn! The South is solid again! (or gettin' there, anyway)

[VRWC_minion]

[onyx]

[Pubbie]

Gee Carl Cameron is reporting this race is "Too close to call".

Somebody's engaging in deception out there...

[southernnorthcarolina]

RICH FARMER elected Ag Commissioner in Kentucky

Well, of course. So what's his name?

[PAR35]

Coverdell died of a heart attack

No, he died of a cerebral hemorrage.
