Democrats have a party

Arkansas Democrats will celebrate election victories with a party -- why do I think Jason Willett is responsible for the name, the "Arkansas Blue Ball" -- at 8 p.m. Tuesday at Rumba Revolution. Most statewide Democratic winners are expected. Price $5 -- $5,000 for Republicans, says the news release, which is on the jump.

The men in the audience will probably have a negative reaction to a "Blue Ball".

I will be there wearing blue. Got the e-vite and have heard from others. We're going to rock the house down. Finally! We can just enjoy the night and celebrate. Looking forward to it!

I have a pair of blue ball (tickets)

Not for nothing, but I'll be returning some business to Horton Bros. printing.

Is it true that Bill Clinton is thinking about dropping by this event because he is in town for an event at the library?

My friend who gave me a ticket told me that was the rumor going around. That would be wonderful. Makes sense too. It would be a Democratic homecoming with all of his friends! I wish he would could run, again!
