rumors of Halter entering the 2nd Congressio­nal District race down in Central Arkansas will come true?

I know Democratic U.S. Senator Mark Pryor was at the Grady (Lincoln County) Fish Fry last week. That small Lion’s Club Fish Fry is one of the state’s signature political events year in and year out.

I don’t know how 4th District Republican Congressma­n Tom Cotton, will justify, after announcing for a state-wide U.S. Senate race against Pryor, got on a plane to junket to Israel?

I know, that Mark Pryor knows, the Grady Fish Fry is in the 4th Congressio­nal District and an event not to miss in an election year.

I don’t know if Tom Cotton knows where Grady is on a map? Or if he’s ever been to a Lion’s Club fundraiser like the Grady Fish Fry?

I know there was standing room only at Central Arkansas Political Animals when Democrat Mike Ross spoke a few weeks ago.

I don’t know if there were 100 people there last week to hear Republican State Rep. Debra Hobbs, give her Conservati­ve pitch for Governor?

I knew that one day, Republican Washington County Assessor Jeff Williams, would seek to run for the County Judge’s office.

I don’t know if he can win against Democratic incumbent Marilyn Edwards?

I know a lot will change between now and the 433 days remaining until the November 2014 General Election.

I don’t know if I can predict those election results. If I could, I would be in Vegas setting the odds-boards at The Golden Nugget. Not wondering about them in a newspaper column.
