      <![CDATA[If you are wealthy, from a good family, dress impeccably, know all the right social people, arrogant and hire and champion the likes of Brad Choate and kiss the asses of the Walton, Hunts, Tysons, Georges, etc., by all means vote for David Gearhart. If you're just a poor, regular person who comes from the middle and lower classes who has had to work hard to get ahead, by all means elect him, that is, if you want someone who bends over backwards for the rich and thumbs his nose at the little guy. P.S. The man is sleazy in a greasy, sweaty hand-shake sort of way.

      <![CDATA[David Gearhart is a good man from a good family in a dream position that I doubt he'll give up until he's rest home-ready. I doubt any of us if we were in his position would try to reach over and turn off the Walton money tap. With all the good and the bad it's Arkansas's only golden goose and no college president or Arkansas politician is going to toss back the billions in Walton golden eggs. <br>
<br>
My back is turned. I won't salute this flag.

      <![CDATA[A mere willingness to take money from the Waltons should be more than enough to garner a losing margin of contempt from any quarter. (especially among the 95 percent)<br>
