Arkansas Elections Word from the Third
Posted by Max Brantley on Tue, Jun 8, 2010 at 2:21 PM
- STEVE WOMACK: For governor in 2014?
Womack enjoyed a big lead in the first primary. But the Hutchinson Family Machine and related conservative Republican interests have rallied to Bledsoe's side. Who'll win? Readers?
I'll venture this: A Womack win would create a congressman (presuming November victory) independent of the old crowd in the state GOP. In the long run, I think this would grow the party, not hurt it. I'd also venture this: If it happens, I like the odds of Womack being the Republican nominee for governor in 2014.

Retreat, hell
May 9, 2012It's still "no quarter" in the Republican Party's war on women, and Congressional Republicans from Arkansas, eager for commendation, aren't missing any licks. "Kick 'em while they're down, and they'll stay down longer," seems to be the idea. /more/

Weasel season
April 11, 2012You know it's an election year, and people have been looking at polls, when politicians start shedding previously cherished convictions. U.S. Rep. Rick Crawford of the First Congressional District, for one, is showing a newly acquired flexibility. Democrats think they have a good chance to beat the Republican freshman. /more/

Boss Womack, easily by 10%.
Gunner DeLay knows how to stir up a wind but it's always just fast-dissipating, hot wind.

Eat it adam. I'm not rooting on anyone, save for Bill Halter and Monty D.
Cecile is not the mean and nasty person that DeLay-Hutchinson has coached
her to be. In the 3d District R debate, rath cheer in Chickenopolis, Ms Bledsoe
came out smelling like the rose she is. She called for "reaching across the aisle"
to get things done for the 3rd District. That's buzz talk for getting funding for the
big highway around the northern most part of the 3rd District. That's the mega million
highway that no one up here wants to raise taxes to fund. The same highway that
Benton County duped other counties into joining up for.
Most haven't fallen for the "regional" approach cause the region is Benton County.
.
Agreed with eLwood. And also agree with Max that he will help the GOP in the long-run by moving the party from the reverend right-wing of Huckabee and Hutchinson.
Yeah Max, that Hutchinson machine sure is dead. Just ask Dan Greenberg and his $250,000.
Womack is a blowhard joke. No real interests or values except for himself. He's not gonna win, but should that happen, you'll see a lot of us central Arkansas republicans begin to ignore NWA too. It used to be all we had, but after we have a Senator, big gains in the ledge, and a willing blue dog base who'll finally listen to us in south and east Arkansas, we'll poach all the Blanche and Berry types we can to our team. Womack's rag-tag crew of Oklahoma fools will still be bitching about Fox News and Dick Morris on the KERM radio... since that makes since in Fortress Benton County.
Interesting small light bulb just went off in my small head.
Halter, the outsider mainline Demos shun..takes the lead.
Boss Womack the outsider mainline Republicans shun...takes the lead.
But that's what this game-changing year is supposed to be, Say-rah pales.

Arkansaw, you sound like you've already lost the election. Get back on the phones and lose some more votes. We've got until 7:30 tonight.
>>on the KERM radio... since that makes since in Fortress Benton County.<<
Genuine Tea bagger signature.
eLwood, if only you knew. You're well read, why can't a republican in 72207 be too? It's not like I listen to that drivel, I'm just aware of it.
Arkie,
Col. Womack's radio station is KURM. Since when was sense spelled "since?"
T'bagger talk. T'Bagger grammar.

I've tried to put this delicately in other ways, but I guess I'm just going to have to come out and say that Womack is a jackbooted, Nazi with razor sharp teeth. I fail to see how his election will be of any help to the Arkansas Republican Party or to anyone else except like minded people who live up around Harrison.
Next thing we know black helicopters marked SW will come out of the clouds and snatch up the undesirables. If it was my list of undesirables it might be OK, but I figure people like me will be last seen at the end of the helecopter's danging claw. NWA is too damn close to my house to feel any brand of safe with Womack in office.
I'm also sorry that David Whitaker is too educated, sane, and able to be considered a viable candidate in November. Looks like the 3rd district is only excited by dumb as dirt, mean as hell or batshit crazy. Where is Jim Trimble when we need him?
Folks, you should be made aware that DBI does not know Steve Womack. That much is obvious from his diatribes on this blog.
