Arkansas Republicans start 'em young....

Arkansas College Republicans probably think they were being cute and clever by taking a picture of Governor Beebe out of context and using it to score cheap social media points.

TalkBusiness.net called it "Vile Attacks and Lies by Some Arkansas Republicans" and I couldn't agree more.

@ArkCr @GovBeebeMedia thinks Obamacare is best for Arkansas. Is that him or the booze talking? twitpic.com/7o23s4 #crnc #arleg

@ArkCR @GovBeebeMedia expects Arkansans to follow his lead, yet he is so drunk he cant even stand! #arleg twitpic.com/7o23s4 #crnc

@ArkCR: While thousands of Arkansans can’t find work, @GovBeebeMedia gets hammered drunk. PICTURE: http://t.co/JnAm58kf #arleg

These College Republicans could have still used this picture to go after Gov. Beebe. "Gov. Beebe pours the wine and entertains the upper class while thousands of Arkansans can't even afford Bud Light." Or "Gov. Beebe has champagne taste on Arkansas' beer budget."

Perhaps Young Democrats of Arkansas should seize on the poor taste of their Arkansas counterparts. "Governor Beebe: Servant of the People." "Governor Beebe: Serving up good times."

As for his effort in serving a white wine, it leaves something to be desired:

I appreciate this because it attempts to plot these potential candidates on more than one characteristic. If I had to make a bet right now, I would bet on Huntsman. I see the battle of the Republican primary as basically being between the upper left corner and the lower right corner. I think the person in the upper left who best contorts themselves to attract the support of the lower right will be the nominee.

First, the area of each candidate’s circle is proportional to their perceived likelihood of winning the nomination, according to the Intrade betting market.
...

Finally, the color of each circle reflects the region the candidate is from: blue for the Northeast, red for the South, green for the Midwest, and yellow for the West.
