Race background
Arkansas' senate seat held byMark Pryor, a Democrat in a red state, was considered to be one of the most vulnerable in the country. The state became increasingly Republican since Bill Clinton wasgovernor, having voted for George W. Bush,John McCain andMitt Romney in the last three presidential elections. Pryor's seat was also the only remaining seat held by a Democrat in the state's congressional delegation.[19]
Additionally, the unpopularity ofPresident Obama's healthcare mandate, combined with its poor implementation thus far, was likely to be a major issue that Pryor would have had to overcome in order to win re-election.
