The stately white columns the interior for The Arkansas capital lead to the executive office occupied by William J. Clinton only 30 years ago. After a successful college career at an elite university Governor Clinton decided make the move home to his birth state of Arkansas. Hillary Rodham begrudgingly followed along with fierce independence and a law degree. Rodham maintained a job at the university of Arkansas after her husband’s loss in a congressional election, and practiced law through court appointments. Eventually her husband would successfully run and become Arkansas’s Attorney General, then Governor. As Hillary continued to practice law, her focus would eventually shift to early childhood education and health. Rodham wasn’t what Arkansas envisioned for a first lady at the time. She was a working wife, who refused to take her husbands last name, and didn’t seem to fill the role as a traditional homemaker. Still, her husband remained fairly popular after his rebounding election in 1982. In 1992 and 1996, Clinton easily carried the state, although that was the last time a Democrat would take the six electoral votes from Arkansas. Now in a matchup with New Yorker Donald Trump, it is highly unlikely Arkansas’s former first lady will come close to Trump in the Natural State. Racial distribution, religion, education, a large rural population, and indications from previous elections, all point toward a significant Clinton defeat on November eighth.
