Arkansas Representative Tom Cotton, considered a rising star in the Republican Party, announced on Tuesday he will challenge Democratic U.S. Senator Mark Pryor in what could likely be one of the most heated 2014 races.

Cotton had been the favored Arkansas candidate among national Republicans hoping to recruit a strong slate and win majority control in the U.S. Senate.

[Mr. David]

Then show the people if they want another nut or a politican that'll do the work.

Pryor also needs a primary challenger to remind him of his roots.

I tried to tell Mark that he needed to be a Democrat or he will be replaced by a republican. He was huffy.
