| First-Term Congressman Aims to Topple Pryor Dynasty in Arkansas |
| 2014-08-22 |
| [PJMEDIA] Arkansas has had its share of political dynasties, first and foremost the Clintons. The Pryor family may run a close second. David Pryor was a Democratic fixture in the state, serving in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate, and as governor. His son, Mark Pryor, now holds the Senate seat he vacated in 1997 and is seeking a third term. Are Arkansans finally getting Pryor fatigue and ready for a fresh face? If so, few Senate candidates nationwide may be more attractive than Republican challenger Tom Cotton. "Roll Call just came out with an article that rated Pryor as the second-most-vulnerable senator this year," said Bill Murphy, front man for the National Republican Senatorial Committee in Washington, D.C. "He votes 90 percent of the time with Barack Obama I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money... , who is extremely unpopular in the state. Tom Cotton is running a strong race and has a great message that is resonating with Arkansans." |
