I'm happy with results in Arkansas and much of the nation. This is the first time in 141 years that Arkansas has been all red. Both senators, all 4 reps, and the Gov, along with the large majority of state seats. As good as I felt last night, I still question the end result. My wife told me someone wrote on facebook "republicans and democrats are just different cheeks on the same butt".
It was interesting to see the wide margins that republicans won by here. Very large majority. I posted on here a couple years ago, keep your eyes on Arkansas. I suspect we will have national attention we've never had soon, some good, some bad. And FYI, the EBOLA senator, Mark Pryor, the freaking MORON, lost by a very large margin. It was called a landslide back in the day. Now it's just "a referendum on Obama's policies".
Another thing that I found interesting, we had a proposition to turn the entire state wet. It failed. So, those of us in dry counties still have to drive to the wet ones to buy alcohol, or in my case Oklahoma is much closer. I'm all for keeping government as local as possible, but when it's perfectly legal for me to buy alcohol in another county or state, transport to my county, possess in my county, consume in my county, etc, in my dry county, it trips my trigger that I can't buy a 30 pack at the convenience store, or a beer with my meal. I have to drive 65 miles for wine or whiskey, or beer over 3.2%. If this is the only price I have to pay for living in a solid red state I can deal with it.
