Jackson Jambalaya

I like the student asleep behind him and the piano man to the right.

This is incredibly lame. He doesn't even look like he believes what he is saying.

Really, really awful. Not smooth, and the people in the background divert attention away from him.

Non-emotional.

OUCH! This comrecial is truly awful. Not to mention boring. It completely lack sincerity and emotion.

Perhaps Tate should hire Quetin's advertising/media firm.

I don't have anything against Tate but nothing in that vid made me exciting. He had ZERO charisma. I thought he was better than that.

This is probably the most ACCURATE portrayal of Tate Reeves that I've ever seen. Bravo for realism.

I don't disagree with y'all's assessments of the video; but I think it is important to note that he probably hasn't had to give a lot of passionate speeches as Treasurer. I'm guessing this is from his kickoff tour? Hopefully in time he will loosen up and project his voice and points with more passion. If not, we'll just have to see what the other candidate has to offer. If Haley can get by sounding like his mouth is full of marbles then Tate can work on his delivery.

Tate has come a long from way from his heavy drinking days at Millsaps...to a boring politician. he better hope his campaign cash does a better job talking than he does.

Hmm Looks like we've got some serious Tate hate going on here.

Look, I know both Republican candidates and they're good men. Each brings different talent and strength to the office, and either will be a good Lieutenant Governor. Tate is clearly running as an outsider, hoping to infuse new blood into the system, and there's nothing wrong with that. Could he have been better rehearsed? Probably, but his current job doesn't give him much time off. Is he a dynamic speaker who holds audiences in the palm of his hand? Maybe not, but the guy in Washington who is so good at that hasn't worked out so well, so I don't have a problem that Tate isn't exactly Daniel Webster. Can't we try to focus on the issues and not spend so much time sniping at the candidates' charisma or lack thereof? I think what they're saying is much more important than how they say it. Bill Billingsley

And, by comparison, Billy Hewes commercials are fun and exciting. Tate needs coaching on how to be excited about what he's doing. He says he thinks Mississippi's best days are ahead of us. But, he says it in a tone that sounds like could care less. If this is what having all that money is able to produce, then he needs to turn some campaign management folks loose and start over.

I don't know or favor any candidate, but this is not a good video.

you arm chair pundits are worth about as much as you get paid to offer your opinion.

Was the caravan goin to make a stop in Ocean Springs?

Back at you 9:10. It doesn't take a top level political analyst to see that wasn't the best video. I still expect Tate to win and I think he'll do a good job, but this vid wasn't good... that's the nicest way I know how to say it.

@ 10:42 - agree - Bush had charisma and nothing else except his father's connections. Since when do we elect candidates on their ad campaigns. This is yet another example of the dumbing down of our country to accommodate the lowest common denominator. Haley schmoozed his way up from RNC chair to potential presidential candidate. Most of our incumbents are reelected year after year and spend their time fund raising for the next round. They do nothing useful. Since term limits would end the money pot for their relatives and friends, we need term limits now, real public servants, and no professional politicians, Final point - if Tate is a professional politician, I guess that makes Lucien Smith a wannabe. And Haley? Are you implying a lobbyist is not a form of professional politician. Anyone want to get involved in a term limit referendum campaign?
