LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS -- Hair Consultant candidate "Florida Pete" Harrison has intensified his campaigning with an aggresive outreach to the "Hee haw" vote - the people of Arkansas who have a plentiful 21 electoral college votes in this year's election.

"Arkansians are my kind of people, down to Earth, very friendly, & their feet firmly planted in reality. You get no double talk from Arkansas people, even the one's with all of their teeth." wrote Florida Pete, in a press release.

Nobody is exactly sure if the usage of Arkansas stereotypes, such as hicks who love their shot guns, rural folks who go square dancing, major towns proudly touting their electricity services and "backwards folks" still upset over losing the Civil War (1861-1865), will be helpful in gaining votes.

"Though they elected Bill Clinton as Governor of the great state of Arkansas I'd never hold that against them, they were snookered just like the rest of America. Go Razorbacks!" Pete added. (Adjacent photo)

Arkansas "Hee Haw" Vote Seems Undecided

"Y'all stop making fun of our state. We ain't all like that." wrote Sally J. in Little Rock, Arkansas, "Steve, you are really welcome to come visit our beautiful state anytime ... Have you ever visited Little Rock in the spring when the flowers are blooming?"

Regulars on the Arkansas Discussion Forum, particularly "Keema" and "Precious", have not yet endorsed a candidate.

Arkansas has a 'soft spot' in the heart of Steve "ColoradoGuy" Garufi. The 2005 ColoradoGuy Festival was held in northwest Arkansas in the towns of Fayetteville and Eureka Springs - the first web site event ever held outside of Colorado.

Even more impressive, Steve has a large Arkansas' flag hung in his cabin from his last visit. (Right photo) Steve was hoping his enthusiasm with his Arkansas flag might have helped his chances with Arkansas women he has met on dating sites, but his efforts have been to no avail.

The position of Hair Consultant was created in 1998 so that Steve would have one "go to person" with growing his long, naturally curly hair as long as possible. This year's Hair Consultant election will be held on April 13-16, 2006, and all are encouraged to vote.
