Arkansas Experience | arkansasjoe's Blog

Well I have to say that this is a first for me, but I'm trying a lot of firsts this Spring, given that its been about 9 months now since my retirement and they say use it or lose it, so I'm trying this blog thing, and I like the name Experience Project, because that's what I want to share, my experience, not my opinion, or something like that. This last election I want to talk about - 2008, because I was a lifelong Democrat, of the Arkansas kind, not like Hillary Clinton up in New York. Down here, Democrats stand for tradition, but I have to say that I just found that our Senator Mark Pryor, who was up for re-election last year, he just wasn't the sort that I thought I could trust. He has been involved in some back room deals, you know what I mean. So, there was Rebecca Kennedy, and I never thought I would vote for anyone with that last name, but it happened, for sure. She just seemed like a breath of fresh air to me. Anyone else with opinions about our state politics in Arkansas, I'd sure like to hear from you.
