This Charles Barbour? http://www.blswlaw.com/cbarbour.html

Now that is good news. Posey sucks.

Charles lost his own county by 15,000+ votes. I guess he is banking on the Madison and Rankin County turnout. Posey is very strong in South MS, especially since he switched parties to the GOP. Should be an interesting primary to watch.

So what? Hinds isn't some bastion of GOP strength. It don't matter what happens in Hinds as long as you win Rankin+Madison.

Hmm, I wonder why Charles Barbour lost his own county by 15,000+ votes...shocking if you look at the demographics of Hinds County. And Posey's district doesn't go into South Mississippi. Nice try, though. Plus, beating any Barbour in the Republican primary, particularly one who has been so active in the party since the early '80s, will be a steep row to hoe for a recent party switch.

Posey will kick the stuffing out of him. Won't even be close. If I was advising him, I'd say stay out of it.

In a Republican primary? You're dreaming Fish.

You want to put your electoral prognosticating record up against mine? Go ahead buddy, go ahead.

When Grand Gulf was built, Mississippians footed the entire bill and were promised, when the plant was paid off,that Mississippi customers would see a major drop in their bills. Operating costs and profits would be covered by the sell of excess electricity.
They counted on the voters forgetting that agreement. I didn't but I guess most did.
I'll continue voting against the incumbent until I get someone who is consumer oriented which is what an oversight commissioner is supposed to be.

Regardless of who is best for the job, Charles Barbour will win the GOP primary.

Is the FBI still looking at his wife. She's disappeared off the radar screen. She used to be involved in the Republican party, but when the Feds showed up, she disappeared! Haley didn't get involved woth this race four years ago - what makes you think he will this time?

Haley, got involved in the primary when he beat Jimmy Foster

12:09 - don't believe you are correct. And I don't think HRB will be involved this time either. Charles Barbour won't carry the leadership of the Republican Party; he is one Barbour that most don't care about. Posey received the endorsement of those same leaders (including HRB) only a few weeks ago. He is the incumbent Republican PSC, and most Republicans will support him for reelection. Charles Barbour made a fool of himself last time with his "not 1 time" commercial. Maybe he will resurrect that one for our viewing pleasure this time!

Posey had a very conservative voting record in the MS Senate prior to his election to the PSC, despite coming from a district that no Repub could possibly be elected. Voters in the Republican primary will be reminded of that this time, and just because Charles' last name is Barbour, they won't flock to his nest.

And he won't have his wife's money to run on this time - too much has been spent on legal bills.

Posey by 7.

Believe me, there are more than a few Republicans burned up about this one. They worked hard to get Posey to switch parties and then suddenly the former supervisor jumps in and ensures he has a real primary fight. From what I understand, Haley wasn't crazy about his candidacy last time and its hard to see that changing. Think about it. The Governor is looking at running for President or VP and now thanks to his nephew, that stuff involving the FBI investigation will pop back up. I can assure you Haley wants NO mention of that while he is looking at bigger and better things.

HRB made no endorsement for the GOP primary. Good try.

I did not say a word about Haley endorsing anyone, jackwagon. try again.

Oh my God!!! Can these people just get a job and stop running for office and trying to live off the people. His wife is a crook and he has to be one,too!!! This is a disgrace!!

Yo, KF jackwagon. Wasn't referring to you. Unless you're posting on your own blog anonymously.

What does Charles currently do for a living?

Are Charles and Rosemary still friends with their neighbor, Robbie Bell? She can legally vote.
