Poll: Still Beebe

Rasmussen has finally released to the general public its Oct. 22 poll on the governor's race.

Beebe 49-41, down from a 10-point spread earlier in the month.

Other numbers: The Huckster gets a 57 percent favorable rating; Bush gets 44 from Arkies.

It looks like this race will never grow close enough to force Beebe to go negative. That's good, but it would have been interesting to see the effect that might have come from showing Asa prosecuting Bill Clinton in the Senate, perhaps contrasted with Dale Bumpers defending him.

Um...Beebe already has gone negative. I was shocked when I saw a pair of negative ads running in Northwest Arkansas attacking A$a on border security. Are these not running in all parts of the state?

I'm with you Spirit....it would be interesting to see Beebe hire the same people putting out Asa's, Gunner's and Jim Holt's attack ads.

I'm so sick of it all, I'd enjoy seeing some really ugly stuff, holding up each of they're records to the light of day. Gunner's new anti-gay ad is really disgusting. I spent another night in the ER with my sick old Ma and saw it on the TV in the White Trash waiting room. No one was watching but me and an old white lady next to me. She jumped a little when I called Gunner a name out of reflex.

Though I haven't kissed a guy in years....if you watch Gunner's gay fear-mongering advertisement with an open mind...all you see are couples that are deliriously happy. As long as everyone is over 18 and willing...is there anything more joyful than 2 people in love? Isn't society and the world better off when 2 adults fall in love and commit themselves to each other for the rest of their lives?

Of course us humans aren't very good with that "rest of our lives" stuff, but the gays have nothing on us divorce-happy straight people. All lawyers should be 100% in favor of gay marriage...it will just double their future income. Are you listening Gunner?

One more ER evaluation....I wish Jim Holt and Asa had been with me last night. There was about 30 people in the waiting room Ma and I were stuck in. At the risk of sounding like a total snob, the only apparently civilized people there were me and Ma, the old white lady who jumped when I trashed Gunner and a nice well dressed Mexican couple and their 2 little kids.

Everyone else and I do mean everyone else was white, in serious need of a bath, dressed in the worst assortment of mostly vulgar t-shirts and other thrift store clothing. They chattered like magpies at the top of their lungs. Made rude comments any time the hospital staff got near them and when they didn't have their tongues down someone else's white trash throat, they were fixing to start fighting. If I had carried my pocket knife with me, I would have been busy slitting my wrists.

I only say this very true, uppity sounding stuff to point out that the problems of America are coming from white trash people and the White House and Congress. It's not coming from Mexicans. If today you feel superior to all brown skinned people, I suggest you go sit in any hospital ER waiting room and see the delights on display by those with lighter colored skin.

Believe me....I saw the best anti-KKK commercial ever made last night at Campo De No Fumar Hospital in Fort White Trash, Arkansas. Let's look real hard at each other before we start looking down our nose at Mexicans.

You can go to www.mysterypollster.com and get a head start. Rasmussen new poll, not public yet, has the race 52-40 for beebe.

HUCKABEE IS STILL THE MOST WELL LIKED OFFICIAL IN THE STATE!
