Republicans from Washington to Little Rock are privately distressed that Rep. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., a candidate once hailed as their most talented U.S. Senate recruit of the cycle has lost his luster in his challenge to second-term Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor.
The overarching problem: While Cottons resume is sparkling, his persona is flat. He speaks with authority, but lacks warmth. His wooden delivery is more often academic, lacking an everyday, common touch thats still essential in a place with slightly less than 3 million people, the smallest state in the south. His slender frame and boyish haircut makes him look even younger than his 37 years, a trait Democrats are attempting to subtly exploit as they portray Cotton as a bit too overeager as he seeks a promotion after just a single term in the House. He's a smash hit with the conservative commentariat class in Washington, but remains a largely unknown quantity to the everyday Arkansan.

Where do these people get this crap?
That pretty much went nowhere. I shat my diapers until I was 2. Stopped when new information became available.
I got that he had turned the corner on immigration, that he’s pro life, & that he believes in fiscal restraint.
