many here are very religious, so they don't go for gay marriage, abortion rights...they are anti-gun control, another conservative stance. but they're huge pro-union folks, which is definitely something non-republican. also, a lot of folks down here are on entitlements, since the area, for the most part, is rather depressed economically. that probably is caused by lack of education, as a lot of folks here are pretty blase about learning much.


the reason lincoln is possibly going out of office is because she supported obama, not because she didn't back her party. she voted for the health legislation, she also voted for the big spending package to jump start the economy and keep us from going to 10% unemployment.
now, she's trying to backpedal and throw on a more conservative mantle, and it's backfiring on her right now. i never thought til the last few months that she'd have a hard time keeping her seat.

isn't Arkansas a right to work state?
