Seems the likeliest scenario in the race for Ross' open seat. Cotton picked up a RedState endorsement today, raised $340k in the last quarter. Halter isn't in yet but sources say he's likely to run.

Never thought I'd say this, but I'm praying for another black-yellow majority, and for the SPD to get shattered.  It's exactly what it deserves.

As you might expect from someone with multiple degrees from Harvard who spent the last several years shooting terrorists, Cotton is bright, articulate, and passionate about America, and conservative values.

Heaven help us.

I personally prefer Rankin because she already has name recognition in the district.

I wouldn't touch the Carnival cruise ships with a 10 foot pole.  Too many things have gone wrong in the last ~6 months for me to even consider it anymore.

You want someone who managed to lose by nearly 20 in a GOP wave year? OK then.

GE: Sabato has it as Lean R, and I agree with him. This will be a race garnering national grassroots attention in both parties.

She was up against a popular incumbent.

He lives in the 2nd, so it would seem logical for him to run there, IMO.

In the runoff, he did do the best in the 4th district, but I don't think he actually won it.

Are there any Arkansans here who can confirm whether Halter's running in the 2nd or 4th?

Attacking someone on one of their strongest suits is generally a bad idea. Personally I can't wait for the all-candidates' debates.

Toss-up race.

It's very much Lean GOP.  This is an R +7 district.  Ross was just very popular which is why the Democrats have managed to hold on to the seat, but just like the rest of the south they are losing ground in Arkansas.
