I wanted to add that NWA has been indulged with ASA! publicity. He's had at least two favorable media coverages. Halter gets mentioned that he's announced and Ross gets speculative mention, designed to drive awareness and create free publicity.

When Asa! ran against Beebe (06) he was given FIVE front page stories while Beebe had one and back then Hussman had not bought into Stephens Media. Since the '08 and '10 elections Stephens Media outlets in NWA have moved more rightwing. Presently, Sherman Frederick, a bitter old far-right conservative, is the featured editorial columnist.

If you know anything about the Elaine Massacre, you'll likely be surprised by how the official state website has white-washed(!) this disgusting event:

In 1919, a race riot broke out in Elaine in Phillips County. Feeling that many African-American sharecroppers had not received their share of wages, they wanted to join the Progressive Farmers and Household Union of America. The white citizens of the town thought the society was trying to persuade the sharecroppers to create violence. In October of 1919, union members met near Elaine under armed guards. Two armed white men - one a deputy sheriff, the other a railroad worker - showed up with guns and a fight ensued. Both men were shot and the railroad worker was killed. For two days, several African-Americans and white citizens of the area were killed in fighting. The fighting ended when Gov. Charles Brough brought in United States soldiers to contain the violence. At the end, 65 African-Americans were brought to trial. Twelve were sentenced to death and the others appealed to higher courts. Scipio Jones, the African-American lawyer from Little Rock, helped to fight for justice for the accused at Elaine. He received help from the newly formed National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). As a result, the rest of the condemned men were set free and the governor brought African-American and white citizens together for discussion on problems between the races. No clear-cut answer was found.

If this poll was run again and one of the names was replaced with Walton Walton or Mike Tyson they'd be runaway favorites because too many Arkansas voters DON'T KNOW JACK.

And the word SEQUESTRATION has at least 7 letters too many to be easily understood by people of our poorly educated state. Cut it off at Ration and they just might get that...as in Ration will cut off a bunch of money that might be important in yer life.......
