Arkansas Elections VIDEO: "The red tide is coming!" Meet the triumphant Republicans, celebrating the new regime in Arkansas

Posted By David Ramsey on Wed, Nov 5, 2014 at 10:43 AM

I spent last night at the Tom Cotton victory party at the Wyndham Hotel in North Little Rock and the party for Asa Hutchinson and the Republican Party at the Embassy Suites in West Little Rock. I didn't comb my hair very well, but I did talk to various happy Republicans, including Jim Bob Duggar, Republican Party Chairman Doyle Webb, and newly elected Treasurer Dennis Milligan, who reveals whether he's going to celebrate at Krispy Kreme.

Leslie Rutledge ran away from me, as always, as will ever be.

I'll have a few more notes later. Enjoy the video.

Another Republican miracle-working governor

Great piece in Washington Post on the budget crisis in Louisiana. Big tax cuts and corporate welfare will do that to a state, particularly to a state whose previous governor, Republican Bobby Jindal, refused to join the Obamacare-funded Medicaid expansion. There's a lesson there for Arkansas.
