The Man from Yell

Hours after Tom Cotton won the GOP nomination for the open seat in Arkansas’ Fourth Congressional District, and became a strong favorite to win the general election in a district that went 58 percent to 39 percent for John McCain in 2008, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee sent out a news release that suggests they’re more or less throwing in the towel on the race.

The release might appear to suggest the opposite, since it’s titled “Tom Cotton and His Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Agenda,” and consists of much fulmination about “Washington insider” Tom Cotton, his endorsement of “massive cuts to Medicare,” and the like.
