[edit] Governor or Acting Governor
I changed the phrase "acting Governor" to just "Governor." Joe was not just a substitute, but the real governor of Arkansas for those few days.
Yes, that's correct. He has a portrait in the Arkansas Capitol that is hanging with the portraits of all the other former governors. larryyoko —Preceding unsigned comment added by Larryyoko (talk • contribs) 15:18, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- I've reversed that change. Arkansas doesn't count Purcell (or Bob C. Riley, as Governors). If it did?, Mike Beebe would be the 47th Governor (not the 45th). GoodDay (talk) 19:03, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
I repeat - Joe Purcell was not the acting governor, but the sworn in governor of the state of Arkansas. Pryor resigned. He didn't just leave the state for a few days. Joe was inaugurated. He has a portrait hanging in the State Capitol with his dates of service as Governor. I live less than a mile from the Capitol. Frankly, though, I think this is a silly argument and the man from Canada can have the last edit if he wants it.
