I'm sorry you took it as such, though I suppose I would take it as so if I were from Mass. Arkansas is a red state now. Its not going away. If you lived here and knew these people, you'd know it was always destined to be so and the President's election and re-election only galvanized that effect. Perhaps if I lived in your state, I might know that Kerry's seat was safe?

Something else, though, which you omitted from your success list - he ran for President in November and he was recently governor of your state.

I can't quite place his name - what was it? Roberts? No. Rotisserie? No, that's not it either. Mitch something or another. Help me out here.

What is slightly illogical is that they are concerned about 2014 - but ignore that karynnj Dec 2012 #30
