Dog pound: Reporting 50%, votes 1 for Houston. Beagle apparently started to vote and then a bird caught its attention. Rumor has it time still left to vote. Bird shot.

Barbour Longowitz too close to call

Anderson leading

Tucker up big

WLBT still has a wrong posting. They are showing Senate race District 20 as MADISON County instead of Rankin. I called 'em. Still wrong.

Randy Tucker should hold his victory party at Haute Pig Restaurant!!!

Never underestimate a built-in campaigning force. Tucker had this advantage within the Department. They worked their asses off as if there job(s) depended upon it. Not one singular event or dirty campaigning decided this race by such a margin. Simple, hard work and relentless campaigning. I am not surprised at the outcome.

Lets see how many folks, besides FOP, in Madison agree.

That ass, Gerald Barber, wrote a letter to the editor of the Clarion-Ledger endorsing Jimmy Houston. Yet another reason I am SO glad Jimmy Houston lost.

Sheriff Tucker. Prayers answered!

KF do we have to deal with the FOP that are going to obviously gloat?

Tucker wins. End of it. Pray no one else hangs themselves in the MadCo jail after a night of living hell courtesy of lack of oversight and abuse. Investigated, never published.

AP calls it for Lynn Fitch!

while i supported Jimmy Houston not a sore loser congratulation to the tucker campaign.

Gives those that fought hard for thier Sheriff's Office credit. They work hard for the people and at a high standard. Houston's camp worked hard also- to his credit he does have a long successful career but just not the right fit for the Sheriff's Office. Good luck to Sheriff Tucker (assuming the win in the general election) and keep the standards high.

Dupree....He's it. There you go J Kev!

RINO Knox Ross LOSES!

Randy Tucker should hold his victory party at Haute Pig Restaurant!!

MCSO race was decided tonight. The candidate i supported lost my vote in the general election will now be with Tucker.

Take a look at the paltry Dem turnout Dorsey. YOU ARE SCREWED.

Poor Luckett ,

He really needs to go have a beer with the former Hinds County Sheriff and ponder about how and why
White Democrats are rapidly becoming extinct.

We tried to tell them that they were were approaching
dinosaur status.

Neither would listen.

Kingfish? No update in almost an hour. How about some update?

Of course, your reports that are an hour late will still be ahead of the Clarion Ledger.

DuPree won. Get ready to hear alllll about Reverend Fairley.

Hello Governor Bryant.

Congrats, Josh!

Having DuPree on top of the ballot will hurt GOP chances of taking House and in some senate races-Buck Clark, Greg Snowden, Bill Denny, and not to mention Dick Hall.

As I predicted, Charles B. looses. GOP voters are smarter than all the lame pathetic antics! I hope future candidates take note.

Anyone know the results for Louvier vs. McKinley race for Madison Co. Justice Court?

Any word where Jimmy Houston will be throwing his tantrum tonight?

McKinley wins by 310.

Kapt --

I haven't been right about much this election season except for this: The days of the Southern white Democrat are over.

Our state was just the last of the old Confederacy to get the memo.

Dems in the South have been puppets of the NAACP for 20 years. Guess what, crackers: you're no better than Republicans to the people who control your party now.

And I am laughing my ass off right now. You became Marxists with them, then they figured out they had numbers on you. You people are so high-minded and progressive.

And you still don't get it. That's the beauty of it all. BIG gut-laugh at white Democrats. You're worthless, and your voted now officially count for shit.

I'Ll giggle myself to sleep tonight over this...and YO Sheriff. Sweet dreams.

Interpretation please.

Trish i do expect you to post something congratulating the Tucker campaign and not being a sore loser like you know who.

Barber and a few others are scrambling to find a Tucker yard sign this morning.

I missed a few predictions but nailed this one. Congratulations to Houston for being a stand up candidate who fought a good contest. I guarantee you all that good law enforcement in Madison county is way more important than which horse in the Barbour-Dent stable winds up in which statewide office.

He's so cool
But he ain't too fancy
Say goodbye to
Lee Yancey

Trish for chief? I think so.

Wonder why they didn't interview Houston?

Houston was camping out downtown outside the PERS building. First in line for retirement papers this morning.

KF, can we re post Shadowfax's brother again?

Wonder if he'll have bah bah q for lunch?

Where oh where is BassMaster Houston? No gracious concession speech or congratulations to Tucker?

What will Trish and Brad do now, not meaning that in a sarcastic way?

Me predicts Brad Harbour will go to work as an Investigator at Ridgeland PD for Houston, right after Houston un-resigns from his fake resignation and the Board of Aldermen un-accept (wink, wink) his resignation as chief.

They can console each other every day about how bad the Fraternal-Order-of-Madison-County-Deputies-Who-Think-Houston-is-a-Tool screwed them over.

You got the current chief of RPD that endorsed Tucker. Just a weird all around situation for both Houston and Harbour. Credit to both of them for standing up and doing what they believe in along with the hard work they have put in, even though i voted for Tucker good evening has calvin lee would say.

Is KF alive or did Houston send him swimming with the fishes? We need analysis.

You know 'Fish has something up his sleeve.....

Kingfish is over at the 'dock' with special permission to fish the private waters. He needed a day off while the site remains on auto-pile-it.

Then candidate Barack Hopey Dopey, July 3, 2008:

"The problem is, is that the way Bush has done it over the last eight years is to take out a credit card from the Bank of China in the name of our children, driving up our national debt from $5 trillion for the first 42 presidents - #43 added $4 trillion by his lonesome, so that we now have over $9 trillion of debt that we are going to have to pay back -- $30,000 for every man, woman and child. That's irresponsible. It's unpatriotic."

Any word on who Tucker has lined up for chief?

Actually, just spoke to KF and he is laying low. It was a late night with all the great partners here; blog taking a hiatus for a bit. Stay tuned, and in the infamous words of DWF, look out for what is up his sleeve...

Since Houston is returning to Ridgeland PD, perhaps Belvedresi will return to MCSO. If I misspelled his name, I apologize, before some junior anon jumps my spelling.

We could only hope so! He made a mistake but I can tell you for a fact that he did more good than harm for the department over the years. He is truely a good person. If you don't know him and have the opportunity to meet him you will not be disappointed. Micah should even give him a second chance or vice versa.

Is Houston returning to Ridgeland PD? Does that mean his Hatch Act resignation was a sham?

Thanks to Kingfish and all of the JJ readers for your support and your votes. I look forward to serving Madison County in the courtroom.

Marsha Weems Stacey

Anon 7:53; don't know if you have access to a television or not; but, both the mayor and Houston were interviewed by Bert and the mayor said he'd like to have him back and would recommend him to the board. And Houston, when asked if he was returning, answered, "I hope so."

There is still the minimal glare of the Hatch Act violation; however, when it was brought to his attention, he resigned, thus not furthering the violation. The feds prosecute Hatch Act violations and they'd have to decide if his pre-resignation actions constitute something worthy of pursuing ~ I doubt it, especially since the man resigned his position.

And, no 7:53 anon; his resignation was not a sham. It was required of him if he was to continue his campaign for sheriff.

Although I did not vote for Houston, I am of the opinion that it was a chicken-shit move on the part of whoever the junior-lightweight was that turned him in for the apparent violation.

Marsha,

Well run.

Do our community proud.

Stick to your principles.

When the scales balance please let your integrity dictate the difference in equality.

Mrs Stacey will do a fine job! Congrats again
