DescriptionBy John Brummett

House Speaker Bill Stovall labored along the sidewalk, carrying documents. I rolled down the window and asked, "Hey, man, what're you doin'?" He replied, "Just tryin' to help Halter." I said, "He needs it. Stovall said, "Sure does."

Our profundity concluded, he trekked on and I motored away.

Stovall represents a state Democratic legislative establishment that's a tad concerned. Mike Beebe appears, if for the time being, to have the governor's race under control. But polls and instincts say it's not out of the question that Beebe could wind up a Democratic governor burdened - and that's the word - not merely with a lieutenant governor of the opposing party, but one by the name of Jim Holt.

Arkansas voters are forever doing nutty things. Electing Beebe, the most effective state legislator of modern times, and Holt, the least, would be insane anywhere else. Here it would be logical in its symmetry.
