I absolutely love the man. A great Democrat, who would've made as great, if not a greater, President than the Arkansan that finally won. His eloquent defence of President Clinton, and work for children's health, has made him a truly great FF.
I agree. I wish it had been possible for him to serve alongside J. William Fulbright, whom I greatly admired. So I've never liked that Bumpers primaried him out. But still, the guy did a lot of good...both as a Governor and as a Senator.
Arkansas really produced some great Senators, like Fulbright, McClellan, both Pryors, Bumpers, and Lincoln.
