The Clinton Campaign announced the endorsements of Senator Mark Pryor and several other leading Arkansas officials today on the eve of Hillary Clinton’s first campaign visit to the state to address the Democratic State Party's Jefferson-Jackson Dinner Saturday.

"Hillary Clinton is one of Arkansas' favorite daughters,” Sen. Pryor said. "She made us proud as First Lady of Arkansas, and she'll do so again as President of the United States. Hillary has the strength and the experience to hit the ground running from her first day in office."

"Hillary’s combination of experience and commitment to Arkansas families is unmatched," said Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel. "She is a leader for all of America and is a candidate who can compete and win in all regions of the country."

"I have such fond memories of my three decades in Arkansas," Clinton said. "I’m delighted to be back visiting with so many old friends and talking about how we can move America forward."

Hillary will address the Arkansas Democratic Party’s Jefferson-Jackson Dinner at 7 p.m. Saturday at Alltel Arena in North Little Rock. Free tickets are available through the campaign at www.hillaryclinton.com/arkansas or by calling 501.374.2361.

:rofl:

she can flip this red state blue.

I suspect if any of the current "Democratic" front runner is the nominee, s/he will carry the state.

The Governor, both Senators and all but one of the House delegation is "Democratic." All state-wide offices are held by Democrats and the legislature is Democratic.

The problem is the Arkansas breed of Democrat is often indistinguishable from Republicans.

This in spite of having two Democratic Senators and the Big Dog as governor.

It'll probably go that way again.

went Bush in the last two Presidentials, but I don't even know that for certain. Either way, it's not a fair characterization to call it a red state when there isn't an state-wide office held by a Republican + the legislature is "Democratic."
