Reply #6: Arkansas is in the running to switch [View All]

Because:

1. State government just went from red to blue

2. Both US senators and 3/4 of the Congresspeople are Dems

3. More people are moving into NW Arkansas, the most conservative part of the state, and not all are conservatives-if anything, I'd say they are more liberal than the natives, as a rule.

4. A LOT of soldiers have gone to Iraq from this state, which, I believe, has contributed more than its share (on a per capita basis) than some of the larger states. When a soldier dies or is maimed over there, everyone in the neighborhood knows about it, because this is a state of small towns, basically. Green Forest shut down and the whole community attended the funeral of a fellow who was killed in Iraq. We must show that the Dems are committed to supporting soldiers and veterans-this will go a long way in winning Arkansas.
