It’s quite stunning: In the 2010 midterms, we had a Republican wave throughout the country, and in AR, a dark red state, a Democratic governor (Mike Beebe) won reelection with over 64% of the votes. He carried every single county in the state. How did this happen?

Even in deep blue states, Democratic governors or candidates who won (re)election significantly underperformed Beebe. Did Beebe crush his opponent just for being Mike Beebe?

Jim Keet was a bad candidate, Beebe was popular
