PARAGOULD, Ark. — Arkansas is not a battleground in the presidential race, being solidly in Mitt Romney’s camp. It doesn’t have a U.S. Senate contest or gubernatorial election this year. Even its four House races are not considered competitive.

But Americans for Prosperity (AFP), a conservative group backed by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, has pledged to spend nearly $1 million here.

The prize lies farther down the ballot: Both houses of the Arkansas legislature are in play this November, with every seat up for reelection for the first time in a decade.

1. Yep, it's looking bleak to keep the state offices in the Dem column.

2. CURRENT TV just ran the Greenwald documentary on the Koch Bros and it included the Crossett AR

Georgia Pacific plant in their expose. It is a totally damning film. These people need to be fried.

Do you know if the Koch Brothers are involved in the fracking in Arkansas now? I live in Memphis and have two adult step children in Heber Springs. I have no doubt the recent spate of Arkansas earthquakes is caused by the fracking. More reason for the slug Kochs to be putting legislators on their payroll by controlling your elections.
