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.

Anonymous Harding University students relaunch LGBTQ publication, campus security removes copies
A group of anonymous Harding University students on Friday published an "HU Queer Press 2.0" zine, covering issues of gay rights at the private, Churches of Christ-affiliated campus in Searcy. 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.

Trump immigration protest at LR: Quick and fierce
It was not even 24 hours ago that Sophia Said, director of the Interfaith Center; City Director Kathy Webb and others decided to organize a protest today of Donald Trump's executive order that has left people from Muslim countries languishing in airports or unable to come to the US at all — people with visas, green cards,a post-doc graduate student en route to Harvard, Google employees abroad, families. I got the message today before noon; others didn't find out until it was going on. But however folks found out, they turned out in huge numbers, more than thousand men, women and children, on the grounds of the state Capitol to listen to speakers from all faiths and many countries.

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.

Jan Morgan and Rep. Dan Sullivan slapped with ethics complaint
While anti-establishment outsiders might be more likely to be clumsy or amateurish enough to actually get caught, it's worth noting that mainstream candidates have a fully legal version of the scam that Sullivan and Morgan are accused of running.
