Why do you think Arkansas switched so quickly to a red state? [View all]
Just 10 years ago they had 2 Democratic Senators and a Democratic Governor just served 8 years.
Both senators lost reelection by double digits. I find this strange because they were reelected previously and did not do anything to warrant going from being reelected multiple times to ousted by 20 points.
Do you think this drastic move away from the Democratic Party in such a short period of time is because Barack Obama is President or perhaps increased polarization between the 2 parties on social issues?
