#1 This needs to be shoved front and center for the 2016 elections. I mean straight down the dems throat. Joni Ernst won in Iowa to, Proud of my Hawkeye state there. Pat Roberts won, Gardner won, Tilis won, Cotton won, Perdue won so handily there's no runoff, and it looks like if you didn't need 50% then Landreau would have lost to Cassidy flat out. Scott Walker won, we won the governship in ILLINOIS!

The tears of MSNBC. Oh the tears. Need to show them Cottons victory speech!

/excited for some reason.

#2 You forgot the part where we won the governorships of Massachusetts and Maryland. Sweet, sweet wine that.

#4 Shipman: I get your point about governance. However, to use a football metaphor, a win by a field goal, extra point, safety, or OT in the last seconds is a win that maybe is even sweeter.

#5 He looks admirably suited to listen to Vox Populi.

#6 May want to walk back that vox snark. Cotton got his JD, but instead of going corporate, he joined the Army. Officer Candidate School, U.S. Army Airborne School and Ranger School. Then went into infantry. As an infantry officer and platoon leader with the 101st Airborne Division, he was deployed to Baghdad as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom on May 19, 2006. In Iraq, Cotton was responsible for a 41 man air assault infantry platoon in the 506th Infantry Regiment,[6] and planned and led daily combat patrols. Later volunteered for combat in Afganistan as an infantry officer. Earned a broze star.

So grom, you owe him an apology, he's a fer better man than you.

#7 I won't contest your opinion because of the profound respect I've for your intelligence and integrity, OldSpook.

#9 Grom: You won't contest his opinion because OldSpook has a God-Damn point. That non-apology reeks.

And just for the Record, Tom Cotton is 50 times the man I am. Period. I know my betters, and would vote for the man in a heartbeat. Instead I voted for a woman who is 50 times the person I am, Joni Earnst. Still Damn excited and proud of my fellow Hawkeyes for voting her to the Senate.

#10 Charles, I won't argue with your self-evaluation.

#11 Now if McSally, the first female combat pilot, can get over the top we will have a great group of veterans.

#12 I'm really glad Cotton won. He is a good man and will do a good job for Arkansas and the rest of us.
