Could Arkansas be a battleground state?

If there was a conservative third-party ticket, I'd say yes.
But unfortunately there isn't, so Utah is more likely to vote Democrat than is Arkansas.

With the right running mate, it could become competitive.
Think of Brian Schweitzer, Joe Manchin, Tim Kaine or Brad Henry; they would make Arkansas viable.

I doubt it. Willard won it with over 60%. No way Hillary wins here, just because Bill was governor twenty-five years ago. Too many conservatives and evangelicals.

The thread-opener asked if Arkansas could be a battleground state this year, which isn't the same as a swing state. Hillary won't win Georgia or Arizona and TRUMP won't win Pennsylvania or Wisconsin, but those states are polling close enough to make the opponent blow through money there.
And I think that could happen in Arkansas also, if Hillary is close in on TRUMP there.
