Its the river that makes Arkansas a little less conservative. If you look Gore dominated counties and C. Districts next to the Mississippi.  That's why Missouri and Lousiana are also a little less conservative. Don't ask me about Mississippi though  Clinton won every single Mississippi river state both times except of course for mississippi of course. That is how the modern democratic party can win elections: a coalition of the east cost, west coast, and the river.

I guess liberals like water .... hahahaha, wait a second ... what about the Great Salt Lake

I'd say Arkansas is an easier win for Kerry than Missouri. Missouri has far more 'country' away from the river than Ark.

It has less to do with water and more to do with race.  The areas in the delta region have much higher concentrations of African-Americans than counties further away from the delta.

Arkansas will not go for Kerry unless there is a significant lead for him nationally.

Well those African-Americans wouldn't have been around there if not for the river, and thus the river is the reason.  Not to mention Gore did well in river areas in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minn. Up there the african-american argument doesn't hold.

Didn't you notice that I was being sarcastic i did say "what about the Great Salt Lake" .   What is it with you Republicans and not getting sarcasm, I even put a winky smiley face.

I didn't say arkansas would go for Kerry, I just said that Arkansas will be easier to win than Missouri.
