Skip Rutherford, Clinton School of Public Service

Think Arkansas and politics, and obviously one family name jumps to mind.But there's another family name in Arkansas politics that reigns supreme, too – this one for more than 50 years. It's also central to the biggest topic for the 2014 misterm elections: The battle for US Senate.Can sitting democratic senator Mark Pryor keep his seat -- despite serving a state where the President and his health care plan remain unpopular? And, by going deep into Arkansas, is there anything we can learn in the “will-she-won't-she” debate around Hillary Clinton.One person who knows both families well and perhaps Arkansas politics even better: Skip Rutherford, Dean of Clinton School of Public Service at the University of Arkansas. Previously he oversaw the building of the Clinton Presidential Center and Park. He served as Founding President of the William J. Clinton Foundation. He’s also a former administrative assistant to then-Senator David Pryor.
