(32,853 posts)I feel bad for the Dems there, but the rest are going to get what they deserve. Sarah Honey Boo Boo's only political experience is being Press Secretary for a year or two. Being the spawn of a former Governor doesn't count. Her tenure is going to be a litany of fuck-ups, just like we saw with her former boss.

(11,703 posts)The GQP General Assembly will ride rough-shod over her - she simply ain't real bright.
The Arkansas Governor is relatively powerless. The veto is meaningless, requiring only a majority vote to overturn.
The only real power the Arkansas Governor has is the power to call - or not - a special session. The GQP legislature referred constitutional amendment to allow the legislature to call itself into special session appears to be failing soundly with 60% of the votes counted.
The Governor's soft power depends of the force of his or her personality. Sarah has no personality of which we are aware. The legislature will ignore her.
