A new survey in Arkansas by Public Policy Polling (D) finds Democratic Rep. Vic Snyder in a dead heat with Republican challenger Tim Griffin -- a "star" of the U.S. Attorney scandal in 2007.
The numbers: Snyder 44%, Griffin 43%, within the ±4.9% margin of error. Against the other GOP candidates, Snyder leads Army veteran and Republican activist David Meeks by 45%-42%, and is ahead of restaurateur Scott Wallace by 44%-42%.
The Republican candidates are essentially unknowns, but Snyder's job approval is only 42%, with a 46% plurality disapproval. In addition, President Obama's approval rating in the district is only 41%-52%.

Griffin should be in jail along with Rove, not running for office in Arkansas.

All four of the Arkansas reps (3 Dems; 1 Rep) ran unopposed last year. Snyder voted for the healthcare bill. He'll be fine.

OMFG" Tim Griffin is like the legend hydra . . . We cut him off the governments dole for anti-government activities and bingo-bango-boom he’s growing another government related job . . . Isn’t there a corporate food job out there for this unindicted idiot?
