The race for Congress
Posted By Max Brantley on Fri, Sep 22, 2006 at 2:12 PM
Channel 11 released a new poll on 2nd District Congress last night
Incumbent Vic Snyder (D) 56
Andy Mayberry (R) 42
That's a four-point improvement for Mayberry, who takes great happiness from poll internals that show him with a lead among a sliver of the 468 people surveyed in the under 35 category. A swing from a 37 percent lead by Snyder in the last poll to an 11 percent lead by Mayberry in that category suggests something isn't quite right one way or the other. Snyder leads in virtuallly every other segment, except Republican and conservative voters. Mayberry has been campaigning actively. Snyder hasn't begun his media, I don't think.

A similar publication, "The State of the Gay at Harding University," set off a firestorm of controversy at Harding seven years ago. Shortly after the publication was distributed, campus security officers began gathering the copies of the zine and throwing them in the trash.

The yawning teacher pay gap between Arkansas school districts
Before Arkansas congratulates itself for outpacing Oklahoma on teacher pay, we should take a look at the huge disparity in salaries within the state. New teachers in Bentonville may make almost $46,000 a year, but new teachers in many other districts will start the 2018-19 school year earning $31,800 — less than the starting salary in Tulsa.

New poll finds Asa Hutchinson with sizeable lead over Jan Morgan, plus support for continuing Medicaid expansion among Republican primary voters
A new poll from Talk Business finds that Governor Hutchinson has a substantial lead over Jan Morgan, the hog-riding, Muslim-banning, gun-toting, airbrushing, RINO-busting gadfly from Hot Springs. And in a doozy of a finding, a substantial plurality of likely voters in the Republican primary now support the Medicaid expansion program.
