Jackson Jambalaya

He does have a lot of friends...alot of support...and alot of well wishers...

Q ran for office in Oxford and when he lost he followed the paper boy around the morning after and took newspapers out of driveways so they would not read about his defeat....lot more driveways here in Jackson...hope hes in training.

A couple of interesting items re: names on the list: 1) not all are residents of Jackson, and therefore not eligible voters and 2) Sam Begley's name, as a democrat, sticks out among the others

He would do well to distinguish himself from the carpetbagger Will Longwitz's playbook.

Man, I am so happy that the people of Madison saw through that guy.

Makes you wonder how much money Ed Cox wasted to try and get his son in law that $100k/year job.

You have to question the sanity of anyone wanting that job.

Many of those names have never appeared on anything together. SEVERAL stand out for me as huge red flags.

The fact that there is such a diverse crowd of supporters shows Quentin’s ability to work with both sides of the aisle. Quentin has all of these friends for a reason. This is exactly what Jackson needs on the Council

The absence of some key Ward 1 names is also of note. Big Daddy Kane being one example. Whitwell's carpetbagging isn't going to enamor him to many. All of those Fondren names don't mean squat.

"Carpetbagging" Are you joking?
Quentin has lived here for over ten years.
I don't think that would qualify as "Carpetbagging".

Just what Jackson needs. Another preppy lawyer without any business experience and nothing but political skills. Give us Donald Duck now!

OH PLEASE, GROW UP!

4:48, Who are you gonna vote for?
Oh yea, you don't live in Ward 1 anyway!
Do ya?

4:48 "Just what Jackson needs. Another preppy lawyer without any business experience and nothing but political skills. Give us Donald Duck now!"

Why don't you run, anonymous loser?

Check your facts 2:45. From what I understand John Ditto is supporting Quentin....Just like the hundreds of other people listed on his invite.
Get off the blogs and do your homework next time.

"Absence of some key ward 1 names"??
Come on, Senator Walter Michel, Leland Speed, John McGowan, Randy & Rick, Robert Lampton and former Ward 1 councilman Ben Allen just to name a few?
I've never seen a deck more stacked!!

Well if anyone understands how few skills are needed to get nothing done on the Council it most assuredly is Ben Allen.

Q is a lilttle weasel. Always has been. But if you like geeky guys with an insecurity complex he is your man. I just can't support someone I know that is such a goober. But hey, there are always democrats that will support him. They vote for weasels geeks and dweebs all the time.

What a weasel. If you know this guy you know what I mean. Insecure is being nice to describe him. I don't vote or support girlie men. But there are a whole lot of Fem-ocrats that do. Maybe he can get their vote. But it's just hard to vote for a guy that looks like he was beat up in high school all the time because he was a geek/jerk/loser.

9:05, 9:44 and 9:52. Same little phony who talks to himself all day on every blog in town....even Othor Cain's. Never done anything of substance in his life. Tosses bombs right and left, with hollow, unsubstantiated criticisms of anyone stepping up to bat. Belongs to nothing, contributes nothing, accomplishes nothing. I hope he has someone to join him for Thanksgiving dinner and will pray for his demented, ugly, useless soul.

Anyone know why he quit lobbying? Thought he was doing well....?

9:24 is the same as 9:05, 9:44 and 9:52. He is just trying to change the subject. AMEN AMEN AMEN 8:11.

What does being a "dweeb" have anything to do with him running for office? (and, honestly who uses the word dweeb over the age of 12)...who he was (in your opinion) holds zero merit on how he will perform if elected. And, if he was a "dweeb" then don't you think he would work even harder to prove everyone wrong...to prove he can do this job?
And let me add that Bill Gates was a "dweeb"....still pretty much is....and I seriously doubt ANYONE could call him a failure...now, of course Bill Gates isn't running for anything but I am pretty sure the jocks who stuffed him in his locker could hardly call him a failure!
Let's just see what Quentin has...now...not who he was 20 years ago. No amount of money in the world would make me want my husband running for this position....so let's wait to see what he can do BEFORE we throw stones at him. Give him a chance to succeed before you cast him as a failure....
And as I stated in the other post regarding Quentin, if anyone thinks they can do a better job stand up and run against him!!! Not asking everyone to join hands and sing "we are family"...but let's do see what happens...
Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving...be thankful for everything you have!
And it's Thursday...which means...a new issue of JFP hits the stand!! Donna is MUCH more fun to pick on...
:)

The courageous anonymous poster from 10:24 yesterday needs to take a look at the precinct by precinct returns. It was Canton, not Madison, where Mr. Ratcliff won this election. Bill Billingsley

Where are you oh "man of big balls"? Useless piece of shit.

Happy Thanksgiving all you jackasses!

;-)

Truer words NEVER spoken.

I like the term "jackhole"....that way I can say it in front of my child without him repeating it and possibly getting in trouble at school...a little mixture between "jackass" and "asshole"...see, fun for the whole family!

Insecure, goober? Who are you talking about? Someone in high school? Jackson is on the edge and it helps everyone, from the folks in Jackson, and surrounding counties to have a strong Jackson City Council. Quentin is a smart, driven Christian man. Amazing that he is willing to put himself out there to this kind of abuse. Talk issues people.

Agree with Holly's point that it is amazing Quentin will put himself through this abuse. I'm voting for him. And Rebekah, my favorite variation on jacka$$ is jackwagon.

Gee Bill. Bummed that your pet candidate couldn't carry the whole county? Maybe Madison the "city" should secede from the county.

Actually that is true. The Ratcliffe campaign was smart and went after the black vote in N. Madison County. I had friends in the campaign and we had a discussion the day after. They used Toby's endorsement against Longwitz, which was pretty clever when you think about it as the blacks in Northern Madison County are not fond of his roadblocks.

One of the untold stories of the Weill victory was Mr. Weill's efforts in the black community. He spoke at black homeowner's associations meetings, went to black churches, and had had several blacks well known in their communities promoting his candidacy. Didn't get him 40% of the black vote but it got him some.

Good point KF,
looks like Quentin has broad support as well.

Bullshit Kingfish. Weill had weak competition and he swamped them in the white precincts. That is how he won. Playing the same old tired race and crime cards to create fear with white voters. You obviously haven't spent nary a single minute reviewing the precinct level results.

I've read the precinct totals. What I'm talking about is completely writing off a segment of voters to the point where you spend literally no time on them at all and Weill didn't do that. The trowbridge thing was clever.

SO WHAT 4:16 (also you are 9:05, 9:44, 9:52 and 9:24). WEAK point you are attempting, in your dark world, to make. Grow up and be something. ANYTHING, but something other that a chain, sick, negative poster (won't even call it a blogger).

You obviously haven't read the totals but go ahead and bullshit the rest of your readers. 84.3% of Weill's total votes came in the 12 (out of 28) white precincts. Weill's efforts at outreach are only anecdotal (per you) and at best were highly ineffective.

For the Longwitz campaign to save face, they must point to the rationale of why he did not win. Blame it on this, blame it on that. The point is, if it could have pulled a handful of more votes, no one would care how any area voted.

A blind man could have seen this was a puppet job. People are getting tired of that in Madison County. The yellow flyers put on mailboxes were very negative and should not come from the campaign of a judicial candidate. That office deserves more respect than that. The canned call from Barbour coupled with the additional personal calls disrupted my quiet evening the night before the election. Sure, I made a point to vote against this campaign, though not necessarily the candidate.

Kingfish is a paid blogger at this point.

Ive known Quentin for a long time. Quentin lacks the ability to analyze a situation and come to a conclusion based on reason. He is quick to be critical without offering a viable solution. Add the fact that he's not trustworthy, carries many grudges, and you have the makings of a very corruptible candidate. On top of all that, since when did he begin caring about issues affecting this Ward? Surely there is a candidate out there who is actually interested in doing something for his/her constituents as opposed to simply adding a line on a resume? Sure hope so.

Sad thing is, you probably act like a friend to his face.

Loser.

I find it interesting that all the JFP commenters post here anonymously.

Do they realize some here actually study linguistics?

Amazing....

Nobody has mentioned the slick mail out from Mississippians For Fair Judges calling Ratcliff a tax offender.

I heard about it this week but never actually saw one so I wasn't going to comment on it. I just looked up Ratcliffe on Madison County's website and well, it does appear he had some tax liens on his home for several years. A little over $45,000. Yes, I think that is relevant if running for county court judge or any other office so I don't blame someone for raising that issue. If one side is going to call a candidate a puppet for one politician, then it is ok for that candidate or those who may not like his opponent to point out the tax problems.

@4:15....study linguistics? If you paid for that class...get a refund...

By the way, where was Mr. Whitwell and his client, Safecity on this E911 problem over the last few years? As far as I know, they've been very quiet on this issue when they were in existence. They were paying some nice jack to the Talon group for lobbying services but I've yet to recall Safecity raising hell over Hinds County not having E911.

Sorry, but I chose not to live off student loans and would not qualify.

Everything communicates.
