They got her polished up real good. I cringe to think she might be my governor. I don't follow state politics that much, they seem to do everything out of the public eye down here. No one really keeps an eye on the crazy stuff they pass in the legislature.

My question is what will be done with all the money raised. It surely will not be used in campaigning. All Sarah needs is one ad showing Trump endorsing her.

The Democratic candidate, Chris Jones, is a NASA scientist as well as a preacher. However, he's a black man and I don't think most Arkansans are ready for that, yet.

scientist? Both seem pretty damning enough to the average MAGA that they'll go for this Possum Pearl in the flesh despite her discernable lack of experience in public service.

Near the bottom or at the bottom in almost every measure. They don't seem to mind being at the bottom. When I first moved here I wondered why they always said, "Thank God for Mississippi." I asked what that meant and they said if it wasn't for Mississippi, Arkansas would be in last place.

I moved here from California 15 yrs ago. I loved CA and still do when I visit my kids every year. The people here are basically good folks as long as you don't get into talking politics with them. I have to always keep in mind that this is their state and I moved here to their state. I know I'm a liberal because when I vote here every single candidate or issue I've voted on has lost.
And yes, I like the fishing here too.
