Arkansas
4 seats: 2R, 2D D 55 
Bill Clinton easily won his home state in the 1996 presidential race, but ran
more poorly relative to his national performance than in 1992; that year,
Arkansas was the only state to give Clinton a popular majority. Despite his
recent easy wins, Jay Dickey cannot relax -- he is the nation's only Republican
in a district where Democrats are projected to win at least 59% (although that
projection is inflated due to Clinton's home-state advantage). Asa
Hutchinson once again has drawn no Democratic opposition.
