I expected Arkansas to be a safe R state and wow look at the margin

[NVGonzalez]

No surprise. It is funny to think that this is the same state that gave us Bill Clinton and voted for him twice though.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

They're still butthurt about the 2008 primary.

[Oakvale]

Yeah, probably.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

No surprise. When the Obama campaign gets really rolling, Arkansas stays R but probably shifts slightly towards Obama. I don't see him getting more than 42-43% unless it's a 2008-like result or better.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

My response honestly was ... "only 19?"

A Democrat can win in Arkansas, but culture matters. Barack Obama is a poor match for the cultural patterns of the Ozarks -- he is exotic, he is urban, and he is an intellectual.

Oddly, Republicans are not doing well in Congressional districts.

No sh**t Sherlock.

Obama vs. Romney

[Eraserhead]

Didn't he lose by 20% last time? Will they even put a black man's name on the ballot in some of the counties?

If he hadn't released the long form certificate and killed that issue mainstream, there would probably be a dumb county clerks movement to keep him off the ballot unless they all personally see proof.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Hey, those southern Democrats said that they'd vote for a yellow dog before they would vote for a Republican.
Nobody mentioned anything about a black man.

 W E L L,  it has been said, and, I haven't seen anything to disprove it, that is, Arkansas is considered the new frontier, so, give it more time, the rest of the country I'm confident will catch up realizing the errors of their ways or we all go down, as planned.

 About those county clerks, most of them being Dem's, accomplish their tasks most of the time... short story,
 ...on that darkest day of American presidential elections, I, like most living and eligible to vote, showed up at the polls that voting day, Nov. 2008, presented my voter ID/registration card to the nice lady, she has my card in hand, looking for the match, finds me in the ledger, looks up with a somewhat menicing smile, 'ah, nice try Mr. B, you already voted... Early!' I said 'No, no I didn't vote early' she says, 'according to this, you did', she shows me the ledger, I'm thinking I'll see my signature, no signature , just a stamped image saying, "Early Voted". I said 'wait a minute, no signature, this isn't going to work'. There is a line, a little bit of scene, the voting officials get involved and seemed to take the situation seriously, had me fill out a provisional written ballot, provide additional ID and sign an affidavit stating that I had not early voted.
 A month later I received a letter from the county clerk saying there was a mix up on my birth day date and that my written provisional was counted. "birth day"? 'yeah, right...
 oh' and yes, all my votes are a matter of public record among my fellow bureaucrats, I'm sure they didn't learn anything that they didn't already know,

... just a story.

That was among your most coherent posts...but then why did Arkansas go 59% for McCain?
