7. It's not what I want, that's for sure

Did you not see where I mentioned that I am not particularly fond of Senator Junior? But let's face it, no one's going to challenge him in the primary, or if they do, they will probably be forced out like Bill Halter apparently was in the gubernatorial race.

If I had my dream team of Arkansas politicians, this is what it might look like:

Governor: Dale Bumpers (although I wouldn't mind Winthrop Rockefeller, who did a lot to improve the state's image)
Senators: Bill Fulbright and David Pryor/Dale Bumpers
Representatives: Wilbur Mills, James Trimble

I would also have loved to have seen Bill Halter moving into the governor's mansion in 2015. And I voted for him versus Blanche in both Senate primary elections. I also voted for Mike Hathorne versus Asa Hutchinson in the 2001 special Congressional election, and for Rebekah Kennedy in last year's 3rd district race. Heck, I even voted for Su Sergeant versus John Paul Hammerschmidt in 1986, even though she ran the absolutely worst campaign imaginable.
