Asa Hutchinson considering another run for governor? [View all]
You might remember Asa Hutchinson-- he was a Republican Congressman from the 3rd district who was in office at the same time his brother Tim was a US Senator. Both are from Bentonville, in Benton County (Now we have a Republican US Senator and 3rd district representative who are both from Bentonville's neighbor, Rogers). Anyway, Asa left the Congress in 2001 to work in bu$h's misadministration, then made an unsuccessful run for governor against current governor Mike Beebe in 2006. Term limits mean that Beebe will not be eligible to run for governor again, and there is speculation that Asa Hutchinson might make another run for Beebe's job. Given the current political climate in Arkansas (bleah), it would appear that Hutchinson would have a better chance of winning than he did in 2006. Is there anyone on the Democratic horizon who would have a good chance of keeping the governorship in Democratic hands?
