According to this April 30 post on Arkansas Watch, the state chair of the Arkansas Republican Party said on the radio that he hopes a minor party gets on the ballot this year and runs someone for Attorney General.

Republicans failed to field anyone for Attorney General. The Democratic incumbent is Dustin McDaniel. It is now too late for an independent candidate to get on the Arkansas ballot, but it is not too late for a new party to get on the ballot. The Green Party, the Libertarian Party, and the Constitution Party, are all circulating their own petitions. They each need 10,000 signatures, and each party sets its own 90-day circulation period. However, any such petition must be submitted no later than June 30, 2010. The Green Party petition is due earlier than June 30, because the Green Party started earlier than March 30, 2010.
