Boozman is there to serve the needs of NWA's Big Three, Tyson, Waltons, J.B Hunt. His assignment is to see that NWA gets their fair share of highway money, to see that U.S. 71 is extended to the Louisiana line, that U.S. 62 is completed across the top of the state. Of course securing the fed dollars for the Walton airport at Highfill was esssential.

When a conscionable Demo comes along who can please the Big Three and take a tolerable-progressive stand on social issues then there's a chance. Until then only a Vitter incident, gay-texting young boys, or stall-foot play would move him out. The previous two Congressmen (1 Demo, 1 Repub) stayed in many years.

The good news is that to secure complete funding for highway 71 and U.S. 62 Boozman will need to make arrangements with lib-moderate Demos who are now in control. Come Jan 09 he will be playing ball with a enirely new governing team. So then we will see him back off on some of his Attilla the Hun stances.

Got a question. I read in a Boozman bio, I forget where but I kinda though it was Wikipedia, that he was a Louisiana native. In my last constituent email to him (a foolish, wasted plea as a soldier's mom that he support the new G.I. Bill), I mentioned it, because I began in Louisiana too. Suddenly, now, I can't find any reference anywhere to Boozman's having come from louisiana. Does anyone know?
