Cotton, by just outside of the margin of error. He's the definition of a GOP hack so he'll certainly be terrible to have in the Senate, but if it means knocking off Pryor, then so be it.


Cotton, and Democrats won't compete for a Senate seat in Arkansas again for a long time.
Don't be so sure on that. If Beebe chooses to run in 2016 and he just might if Hillary chooses to run for President, then Boozman could be in serious trouble for re-election. PPP had Beebe leading 46-40. He's so dang popular all while Boozman has failed to make a name for himself among his base that a Democratic win could very well happen. If he opts not to run though, then I agree our chances of winning this seat are very slim.


Beebe will be 70 years old in 2016. It seems really unlikely he'll run in what would be a tough race and I don't know why people always suggest him. Same with Beshear in Kentucky. I could be wrong, but I certainly wouldn't hold my breath.

Don't be so sure about that...

That didn't stop Tommy Thompson.

New PPP poll basically shows this race moving to Lean R. Cotton probably wins by a healthy margin.

If I were 18 I'd vote for Pryor, but Cotton will still most likely win.

Hopefully Cotton. We need less fossils in the government if you ask me.

So I presume you're supporting Gregory the Gallant in Kansas?

I have mixed feelings about Greg Orman. He sounds like a Democrat in Independent's clothing, but he seems at least more moderate than other Democrats. I'd feel safer if he promised not to caucus with either party in the Senate, assuming that's allowed.

It's allowed, but that would mean getting either no committee assignments or just really bad ones which would tend to make one a terribly ineffective senator.

So it's allowed but discouraged? Washington was right about the perils of political parties, it seems.

That Oregon Senator tried it for a spell after he left the GOP in the 1950's but eventually he just joined the Democrats. He literally put a folding chair in between the two sides of the chamber.
