The next Governor of Arkansas

[Obscure]

I'm not counting on the Republican winning this election. Arkansas is one of those weird states that tends to vote Democrat in everything except Presidential elections. Personally I think it's a bit selfish. They elect Democrats at the state level to give them free gifts and then elect Republicans at the federal level to take them away from everyone else. Would someone from that state like to offer a better explanation than that?

Also, Obscure is incorrect. Arkansas voted Republican in 2000 and 2004, when Huckabee was Governor. Yes, they voted for McCain by more than 10 points in 2008 with Beebe as Governor, but that's the only recent example I can think of.

And yet their state legislature, both House and Senate, are Democrat controlled.
