AR-02: Morrison Endorses Griffin

D.C. Morrison (D), a conservative Democrat who finished a surprisingly strong third place in last month's Senate Democratic primary, is endorsing former U.S. Attorney Tim Griffin (R) over state Sen. Joyce Elliott (D) in Arkansas's 2nd district House race.

“I think he’s the best candidate,” said Morrison. “I just think Tim Griffin is much more in agreement with my views on fiscal responsibility.”

This comes as a tough blow to Elliott, a favorite among liberals who recently edged her more conservative rival, state House Speaker Robbie Wills (D), in a runoff.

Morrison is starting up a "Democrats for Griffin" organization, and plans to campaign for him down the stretch.
