Faubus' backing helps make Bumpers a clear favorite to unseat Rockefeller, whose administration has been locked in a stalemate with a Democratic-controlled legislature. Arkansas voters seem receptive to a fresh face. If they choose Bumpers, Charleston will be proud but also a bit sad. It will have to search for a new lawyer and city attorney...
