JJ readers: Haley should be GOP nominee

Governor Barbour edged out Governor Christie in the latest JJ poll: Who should be the 2012 GOP nominee for President? I voted for Christie although I think in terms of ability to lead they are probably dead-even. Romney came in third. By the way, a little bird told me some of the recent hits on Haley in the conservative press and Politico are coming out of the Romney camp. No, the little bird does NOT come form the Barbour nest. Hope Mitt is ready for the big leagues because the Governor is not exactly someone with whom I would pick a fight.


Tim Pawlenty
19 (4%)
Mitt Romney
79 (17%)
Sarah Palin

Haley Barbour

Do you think that Haley will run? He has been mighty visible lately with his being the Governor Boss, you know?

Christie talks tough to Unions, but his views on gun control make him look like a bad idea to large chunks of the country.

He's not dumb and taking on the NRA in the Republican party would be suicide and he's not suicidal. Not as conservative on some things as I'd like but he's no Bush.

i hate to say that even though there are much better candidates out there (barbour, jindal, christie, romney and huckabee) i am afraid palin is the front runner with her momentum. The republican party needs to give alot of thought to who our next president will be. I say that cuz i dont think the democrats can rebound from their obamafied mistakes. And hopefully palin will run as Independent.

There is a primary system for a reason. Don't worry about Palin until she wins a primary.

It appears Gov. B likes to do what he does best in the party and thats to bring more people in with money who can do something not just ya ya. As for as running, nah don't think so but the attention is nice.

What's to keep Palin from running as an Independent if it looks to her that she'll be shut out of the primary system?

It's not like she didn't support Tea Party candidates over Republican picks.

1/6 8:18 - when was the last time an independent won the presidential seat? she wouldnt run unless she could win...

note: Perot was the only MAN whose been close that i know of and thats just because he was the business mind of all time then, palin doesnt compare

Sarah needs to sit down and shut up. Even I'm not a fan anymore, lost me when she quit an elected position. Just did. And can we admit yet she's an unpolished idiot? I mean she's sharp, but an idiot. (If that makes sense.)

Any serious Independent candidate is just gonna piss me off, splitting the votes.

Not to mention, all the blacks are registered to vote now thanks to '08, so Obama's still got it in the bag. (Haley would have to free more than the Scott sisters to compete with that pull)

You assume this is an ideological political effort for Palin and that making money and celebrity isn't a factor.
And, I'm with Stiletto on this...Palin's an idiot...a major loose cannon. She'll believe she can win despite past history or the bothersome facts of electoral votes.
Stiletto, I think freeing the Scott sisters ended up being botched...the parole condition of giving up a kidney hardly plays well. Ends up being another way to make the Guv look bad. In fact, it's down right creepy.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets.
