A Dem Candidate Who Makes Me Believe
Posted by on July 5, 2006 at 03:03 PM
The day he announced his candidacy for Arkansas governor, state Attorney General Mike Beebe declared "You can't come up the way I did and not believe that anything is possible." Beebe was raised by a single parent, a mother who worked to raise her son on a waitress's tips. Beebe put himself through college and law school by serving his country in the U.S. Army Reserves.
Currently the state's Attorney General, Beebe has represented the people of Arkansas for more than 20 years as a state senator and attorney general.
If you don't already love the guy, it's really hard to not dislike his opponent. The Republican candidate, Asa Hutchinson, is Bush administration-official-turned-lobbyist who was the undersecretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The independent 9/11 Commission issued near-failing grades for Hutchinson's handling of his role at DHS.
Beebe has a pretty sweet website, including video notebooks.
