Oh no, I may have to vote for Mike Ross... Ack!
This was the headline in our local Hope, AR paper yesterday:

"Miss Arkansas takes on Ross --
Former beauty queen files for Congress"


http://www.hopestar.com/news/x1224398193/Miss-Arkansas-takes-on-Ross

I quit voting for Mike Ross about 6 or 7 years ago when his Republic leanings had become quite apparent. When his name came up on the ballot I just left it blank. However, he hasn't had a Rethug challenger in all that time. Now it looks like he will and I'll be damned if it's not another former Beauty Queen... and a big ole Right Winger, of course. What is it with the sudden rash of former beauty pageant contestants infiltrating politics?

This is going to be a real dilemma for me, but I suppose I'd still rather see someone with a (D) behind their name in the office than the dreaded(R). Oh why can't we get some real progressive candidates to run?

Well, you can bet where my support in the Arkansas senatorial race is going to be... Bill Halter all the way! Screw Blanche!

2. Hey, Flub!
What has Ross done in the last few years to even look like a Democrat?

:hi:

3. Yo, DBT... long time no see!
How have you been?

Well, you are right about that and that is why I have refused to vote for him all these yeras. Nonetheless, I would sure hate to see a "full blown" rethug running the 4th district. It's kinda "damned if you do and damned if you don't".

I actually voted for the green party candidate one time against Ross but I don't see any chance of a third-partier getting anywhere, really. That's just the predicament we face, isn't it?
