Arkansas US Senate 1996

[Leroy McPherson fan]

This was quite the overperformance by Tim Hutchinson. Especially with it being on the same ballot as Bill Clinton.

Hutchinson was very well-liked in his House district and racked up DPRK-level margins in NW Arkansas.

Sometimes if you can knock it out of the park in one part of the state, it makes up for a meh showing elsewhere. (See also: Doug Jones winning the 2017 US Senate election in Alabama.)
