Dem Party of Arkansas elects Bond as new chairman

I'm back from Hot Springs, where the party confirmed Governor Beebe's choice of former Rep. Will Bond as chairman of the Democratic Party of Arkansas. Besides the governor, remarks were made by Congressman Mike Ross, AG Dustin McDaniel, Treasurer Martha Shoffner, hosting state Rep. John Vines (D-Hot Springs), and outgoing chairman Todd Turner. Many references throughout the morning were made regarding the whipping many Dem candidates took in '10. Bond laid out his plans and goals as chairman and ended by asking "what history will we write together?"
