SupertalkMS reporting that Busby winning over Brandon Jones by ~200 votes w/ one box to go.

A Jones loss would be insanely huge. Pray that the report is correct.

Good luck on the Judgeship race Kingfish !

BTW, I just glanced at the website of a local
"progressive" free Frondren circular that does a fantastic job of listing the metro area's weekly
entertainment gigs .

It seems to me that their main most editor might have a
secret crush on you.

Statewides going according to expectations. 29% of the vote in Dennery has 1713 votes, 44% and Graham 2210, 56%. I know Graham cleaned house at Tougaloo, New Hope, and Callaway, roughly 3,000 votes to 100 or so.

Woooo Hoooo...bring out the peanuts and ginger beer! ;-)

Graham and Dennery tightening up:

WLBT calls it for Judge Jambalaya. Congrats!

Waiting...... :-)

Well, fuck. It seems the nimrods at WLBT had the numbers reversed. Unless they're reversed now ....

Busby 50.44% with all precincts counting. Not over but would be insanely HUGE.

You just lost cred. A lot of it too.

Whatever happens it was a wonderful stealth campaign Kingfish. You also drove the Fondren harpy to lose even more credibility so not all was lost.

Loyal JJ Reader

The No on 26 party is in Fondren (where else?) Locals need to watch out for celebrating hipsters driving Priuses under the influence of locoweed tonight.

Funny how the AP called 26 failed with 57% against, but refused to call 27 and 31 won with higher percentages (same # precincts reporting). Bias showing much?

Here's a question: will all the people who have lionized ministers, Christians and other pro-lifers who expressed doubts about 26 return to their nasty, sneering, hate-filled rhetoric tomorrow after they've used said folks for their selfish end?

Yes, Anderson, I'm talking about you.

Still haven't called Voter ID with 62%, but called Personhood defeated with 58% against.

reed you are an idiot.

The negatives of the 26 campaign Reed are going to be with us for a long, long time.

KF, pretty big chunk of votes for a 24 hour campaign. You're lucky you didn't start last week (and so are we - would hate to lose this site).

Here Here! Good show.

Be seeing ya, Dirk Dedaux

It is a fair question Elizabeth.

Thanks, Elizabeth. I believe your insult devoid of any substance has answered my question succinctly.

10:23, I agree. I was against 26 until I started seeing who was lining up against it and how they were so disingenuously quoting Barbour, ministers, conservatives, etc. I just couldn't align with them. These are people who make a living smearing such people and express some of the most vile hatred toward people of faith. Yet, when it suited their end, they were using the same people, saying "you can be a pro-life and oppose this!" feigning an insincere respect.

Already we are seeing snide responses and name-calling toward the proponents (see Elizabeth's eloquence above) as these folks shed their ruse. Expect it to be far worse over the next two days.

GOODBYE DORSEY YOU CHUMP and all you RINOs behind his campaign suck.

Crisler loses.

Phil Bryant...proof that God wanted Cliff Finch to serve two terms.

Crisler is an empty suit.

The corruption that the black community in Jackson is willing to live with and embrace is staggering. No amount of rebranding and marketing hype will ever undo the damage that a fraud like Robert Graham has done to the little integrity that remains in Hinds County government. Along with a DA and AG that look the other way you can kiss Hinds and Jackson goodbye.

I"m going to go out on a limb here with 26.

I do believe that the buggler-esque crowd fell victim to the juxta-positioning of evangelicals. However, there is a more sinister problem.

They were not even aware that the right, even the far right, were on their side.

Haley said it best tonight in his interview. There was a contingency from Colorado that attempted to usurp Mississippi's political process. I mean, really think about this; it was a Constitutional Amendment. It wasn't a pick up the shit in your front yard ordinance. It was a fundamental change to the foundation of how we conduct ourselves as citizens in this state.

Every Mississippian should have been against a yahoo from Colorado attempting to undermine our great state.

With that said, the sinister attempt by the media, especially hyper-locally was certainly disturbing. Those who were sheepish in getting out the vote were at least able to speak up. The rest of us were left wondering, why is this such an issue? We are able to entertain all ideas, to shove it down our throats is a different story.

And for Shadow, HIPPA comment was meant to say, "Leave the medical matters to the privacy of a person and their doctor." Nothing more, nothing less.

I not surprised they keep electing these criminals in Hinds County, these folks are crazy.

The Hall/Crisler race had me worried there early.

Eminent Domain slam dunk. Leland Speed can kiss our collective behind. We are the 73% and we would rather protect the rights of property owners than destroy basic American liberty for the sake of a few hundred jobs.

Haley talks about what a great state Mississippi is, but it's like he doesn't get that it's not acres of car factories and other industrial installations that make this place great. I'm all for jobs and industry, but not at the expense of the rights of property and ownership. In fact, it is the legion of my fellow citizens, like minded in such protection that makes MS great. If I want to live in a place where rights are trampled on to benefit government, I'll move to DC or New York.

Hey Leland! Use some of your millions to buy the land for the next car plant and sell it to the company for a profit. THAT'S capitalism, not using the muscle of government to shake down little guys and steal their land. Remember the story Nathan told David about the man with one sheep.

Voter ID passed and the fun begins...

NAACP plans nationwide protests on voter ID laws

Yes, Anderson, I'm talking about you.

Eh? WLBT.com really had the numbers backwards for a sec. I was sufficiently pleased that I posted congrats to KF on my own blog. Then I clicked back a little later and found them transposed.

My apologies to KF for the error, but it wasn't my mistake, it was WLBT's website's. I'm very sorry KF lost. Would've voted for him had I been in that district.

Kangaroo: You're prognostication and recap skills are somewhere under those of Matt Friedman's while your humor is just a notch under that of noted comedian Bennett Malone.

Everybody wants to be Rick Cleveland it seems, calling the obvious on Monday mornings while using nutty cliches.

As to your HIPAA reference; matters of cloning, conception, fertilization and abortion cannot be swept under that rug. Did you really intend to suggest that we have no right or need to discuss conception since it involves personal health information?

Had Luckett prevailed over Dupree, the election results would be one helluva lot different. The outcomes in most cases would be the same, but they would not be nearly as close. When somebody named Tracella Hill can garner 20% of the vote for Lt. Governor, that can be owed to nothing more than democrats turning out to vote for Dupree. Sad that eventually elective office in this state (at every level) will be determined not by the content of a person's resume, but the color of his skin (with apologies to MLK).

Well, Anon, I voted for Ms. Hill (whoever she is) because I'm a Democrat and wanted to vote against Tate Reeves, not because I thought she would win or because I was "turning out to vote for Dupree."

So perhaps your understanding of your opponents' psychology could use some work.

Can the absentee ballots make a difference if Dennery doesn't concede?

6:50...4:20 anon here. Thank you for proving my point. Voting for a person, whether or not he/she can win or even understanding the dynamic of that ~ is the very point. The dems that turned out simply to vote for Dupree (because he was on the ballot and is black) are the very ones, like you (whether black or white) who also just so happened to vote for Cruella, I mean Tracella simply because she is either black or democrat or both. You even admit to having no idea who she is. Again, thank you for driving home my pernt.

KF, can we take a vote to send Shadow over to the JFP?

Shadow,

If you say so. Thanks for clearing that up.

KK

By the way, GREAT showing last night Kingfish!! Next time we'll start 48 hours in advance and get this deal done. I must say though, I'm not sorry that this site will remain in tact. Judge 'Fish would be hard pressed to keep it going.

Gotta back Anderson on this. I saw it too on WLBT.com ... I hope DL saw it and spilled her organic smoothie on her laptop after that hit piece she wrote.

Thanks, 2:06, I feel a little less crazy now.
