Tom Cotton: why doesn't this p.o.s. have a Democratic challenger? [View all]

From a Washington Post piece on the fallout from his NYT op-ed:

"In interviews and through his Twitter account, Cotton has made it clear that he is enjoying the fallout from his Times piece. His campaign coffers have also benefited, with his raising roughly $200,000 since the op-ed controversy for a reelection race this fall in which he has no Democratic challenger."


It would be a long shot, but they couldn't find one Democrat to run for the seat? The only way to guarantee a Democratic loss is to not even compete.
