What are Arkansans saying about why they support Mike Beebe?
“As a legislator, [Mike Beebe] demonstrated an ability to understand the needs of the working class of Arkansans, as well those who were affluent. I believe this understanding came from his humble beginnings, as most of us Arkansans had. As Attorney General, he never lost his focus on doing that which was good for Arkansas and its people. As we worked the parades during his first Governor's campaign, and events also, it was the same Mike I had known for years. Never wavering and never losing his focus on the needs of our great state and our wonderful people. … I believe Mike Beebe will be judged in history as one of the best Arkansas Governors in our State's history.” -- Charles, Paragould
"Governor Beebe is one of the finest men I have ever met. He believes in Arkansas and it's people. The Governor looks you in the eye when he speaks to you and you know he cares. He has a handshake that tells you he is down to earth. He has grown in the past four years as has Arkansas. What else is one to say, he is brilliant, good, kind and a wonderful Governor. Four more years is probably not enough." -- Mimi, Hot Springs
"I plan to vote later this afternoon. During a time of political hostility between the parties, and even within our own party, Mike Beebe stands out as just about everybody's favorite. I am proud to have him as my governor and will be proud to cast my vote for him this afternoon and in November. Arkansans can also be proud of the high regard with which he is held among national leaders. He is not just one governor among fifty, Mike Beebe is first among the fifty." -- Earl, Hot Springs Village
"Gov. Beebe has done a fine job. I would have voted for him anyway, no matter who was running. Thank you Gov. Beebe for a fine job and new jobs for Arkansans." -- Herb, Little Rock

“Governor Beebe is the best Governor we have had in my lifetime. He understands the average everyday citizen, the struggles of trying to meet the needs of their families. I have followed Mike Beebe for several years. He has a good track record. He has common sense as well as vision. Governor Beebe understands and looks at the whole picture of our State and not the special interest of a chosen few. I trust his judgment and I believe he has the sincere interest of all citizens in our state. I not only believe in Governor Beebe but I trust and respect him.” – Tommie, Blytheville
“I have the utmost respect for the man, and he will try to help someone in anyway he or his office can. ... I think America would be better off with more public officials like him.” -- Ricky, Greenbrier
“I believe in Mike Beebe because he believes in Arkansas. His constant reminder that we are too small of a state for provincialism is starting to resonate with the people of this small wonderful state. The idea that what is good for one part of Arkansas is good for the rest of Arkansas is starting to take hold and you are seeing more cooperation between regions of our state that have historically not cooperated. Under his leadership our rankings in per capita income, education, and other measures of quality of life are making tremendous strides. I truly believe that Arkansas' greatest era is just beginning and having Mike Beebe to lead us only insures that the Natural State's best years are yet to come.” – Greg, North Little Rock
