As much as I hate to admit it. It's the home of Wal-Mart and Big Money, and every Republican presidential nominee since bu$h has been feted at $1000-a-plate dinners in Benton County. Most of the counties in the 3rd district, which has been Republican since 1967, are really conservative, and essentially the only places where progressives get a big chunk of votes are Fayetteville and Eureka Springs.
