Speculation on 3rd District Race

Max Brantley over at the Arkansas Times blog seems to think there's something more to Fayetteville Assistant City Attorney and Washington County Democratic Central Committee Chairman David Whitaker's (right) resignation this Friday from his post.

He writes in a blog post titled "A Race in the Third?":
Reading between the lines of The Iconoclast (dangerous business, I know), I read the linked item to indicate that David Whitaker, an Air Force veteran, Democrat and recently resigned assistant city attorney in Fayetteville, will soon announce a challenge to Republican U.S. Rep. John Boozman.

A Democrat faces a steep hill in this district, I know, even against a strong congressman. But is an automatic vote for the minority, obstructionist position all it takes to be re-elected in the Third? Benton County, yes. But the whole district?Certainly something worth thinking about.
Certainly something worth thinking about.
