He would not have been able to beat Tom Cotton so he should only have run if he was going to avoid McGrath-esque grifting and had no further political ambitions. If he wants a job, he should run for a row office (he's term limited from seeking the governorship again) or Congress.
Yeah Cotton is hated, so Beebe would have raked in lots of money just like McGrath, which would have been not good....
Hopefully we get some yellow counties on the map, those are always cool.
Probably Pulaski and some in the Delta
