Ben Allen wins poll. Vote in new poll.

Ben Allen won the JJ poll asking who do you support to be Mayor of Jackson.  Dale Danks came in second, and well, Harvey didn't do so well. Now I am putting up a new poll and we are going to do it just a little bit differently. Ben Allen and Dale Danks will not be included in this version.  Let's be honest: a white person cannot be elected mayor in Jackson, period.  So I'm going to make this poll a little more realistic.  Vote early and often. Here are the results of the first one:


Harvey Johnson 24 (3%)
Leroy Walker 61 (8%)
Peggy Hobson-Calhoun 52 (7%)
Frank Bluntson 11 (1%)
Eddie Fair 6 (0%)
Ben Allen 275 (37%)
Beverly Hogan 16 (2%)
Dale Danks 163 (22%)
Robert Gibbs 43 (5%)
Chokwe 73 (9%)
Robert Graham 9 (1%)

I cannot vote for any of those persons for Mayor. I could not have voted for Dale Danks, either.
Are there NO better persons than those listed for whom we could vote?

It is pitiful.

I see three decent candidates.

Paul Mitchell said...

IT wouldn't let me vote for Chokwe more than 1 time. This poll is rigged.

Greenville elected a white guy.

Where is JONATHAN LEE?

Anonymous said...

Objectivly look at this list, then look at the City Council and the BOS. Is this the best leadership the black community can offer? Really? This is it?

Where is the only CANDIDATE that would be a great mayor...Robert Gibbs?

Anonymous said...

So did Lexington and Greenwood 9:24, but they ain't Jackson. Our blacks are light years ahead in the reverse racist game than these towns.

Kingfish said...

I didn't include Robert because he will not run. Period.

Anonymous said...

Where is Jonathan? He IS running.

Same with John Horhn.

Jonathon Lee is by far the best candidate. You need to get to know him.

Anonymous said...

You need to start this bitch over and reload.

Jonathan should be listed, but he will have a tough time. He may not be "black enough" for some "voters". The fact that he is articulate, successful businessman, involved in the community, family man, etc, will not matter to some of these AA's steeped in hate of the white man.

You know the type: they hate us, but can't move to our neighborhoods fast enough.

Wrong 10:00 a.m. A few years ago Greenville was the third largest city in Mississippi, behind Meridian and Jacktown, and with a minority population rivaling that of Hinds County. Additionally, Greenville has a really strong, active and often viable cadre of black-cause groups and alliances. Jackson is in total disarray. Greenville's groups that advocate socialism, dependency and grants are somewhat organized. I say that to reming you that Greenville, against all odds and in spite of the fact that these strong alliance groups pound the streets, elected a white, retired banker after some years of black administration. Bennie is also a frequent visitor. If Greenville can do it, why can't Jacktown. According to Greenville's new mayor, he got a large percentage of the black vote. There should be whites other than Ben Allen on the ballot. And, are there no blacks that aren't criminals or closely associated with criminals who could be listed?

What other whites? Jackson will never elect a white Mayor. EVER. Allen, a Repub, was elected Pres of the council by 6 Dems, 5 of which are black. He could nou win. What white people? Jeff Good? Malcolm? What white people? Name them? Give me a break.

Anonymous said...

Johnathan Lee would be the best of all on your list. Get to know him and you will agree

Anonymous said...

Where the phuck does the dreamer at 10:23 live? Jackson is a big city. Greenville, Greenwood and Lewxington are not. In small towns, everybody DOES know everybody, hence a white can get elected.

Our "big city" has too many Jim Evans, Kenneth Stokes, Chokwe Labooger hate messengers to ever elect a white person. They hate us.
Personally, I don't give a shit what the blacks think about this or anything.

They are too busy grabbing their crotches and acting stupid for their peers.

Anonymous said...

Please enlighten some of us on Jonathan Lee .

He sounds like a good choice, but many aren't familiar with him.

(Not that we vote in Jackson anymore) anyway.

Although most have left, some still wish to see Jackson recover from the idiotic government of the last few decades.

Anonymous said...

So true 2:45 .

As usual, the Black's got what they wanted, ( In this case, The City of Jackson) .... Look at what they have done to the Capitol City of Mississippi.

Kingfish said...

Actually few people know who Lee is. I couldn't even find him on google last week when I was trying to find the Jackson chamber (not the greater chamber). I'm not taking his lead seriously as its probably just a few people doing it. Like the Ron Paul crowd.

Kingfish said...

I'll put it to you this way Shadow, the Green and Chokwe crowd has been giving the Sheriff grief for hiring too many white people. I kid you not. If its not all black, you're a sell out. They really think this way and want it that way. Just look at how EC Foster was treated when he got beat. Look at how they treat Joyce Jackson. They even call Peggy H-C a sellout.

Anonymous said...

2:45 I agree with most of your post, but this is NOT a big city. 24-hour news radio stations, headquarters for a Fortune 500 company, Pulitzer-prize winning newspaper, major league sports teams (even with a championship) - all missing here.

Is this the Mr Lee who owned the auto parts mfg in Morton that moved to Mexico?

Anonymous said...

I'm not sure that Jonathan was affiliated with the plant in Morton, that was his late father John Lee. Nevertheless, Jonathan has been involved in the community for sometime. In fact, I know he's on the Board of Directors of Baptist Hospital in addition to serving as the former Chairman of the Jackson Chamber of Commerce. I was not aware that he was considering a run for Mayor, but I hope it's true. He's a young bright guy that seems to be pretty grounded.

There are several excellent potential black mayors. Unfortunately they all moved to Madison a few years back. A white, asian, hispanic or whatever floats your vote mayor can get elected, just need the right coalition and message.

Anonymous said...

Spoken like a true clueless Madison ex Jacksonian. You need to get out in town and around. I am black. If you think any race other than mine will get elected Mayor you are clearly in a fog. Won't happen. Too much for us to lose.

Anonymous said...

I put it like this the wrong mayor will break the last straw this city sits on . Jackson can elect the best candidate even if he is white , the reverse racism and ignorance has to stop. Jackson had plummeted with this blacks only mentality . Disclaimer I am black , just sensible and realize that this is Jacksons last shot.

Shadowfax said...

Anon 9:22; What else is there for you blacks 'to lose'? If you think electing a white person will cause you to lose some of what you've achieved, please identify what that might be. Actually 'you' have nothing LEFT to lose. As 'you' circle the toilet bowl, do you really care which race throws you a life line?

If Greenville can reverse a decade of poor black leadership, and at the same time stifle Bennie's involvement in the mayorial race, it can be done elsewhere. It was a triumph for a once-great Delta city and a clarion call. The mayor's name is Jordan but not sure which way he pronounces it.

Kingfish said...

9:22 just showed what is wrong with Jackson.

Public school system imploding, streets falling apart, water/sewer system falling apart too, crime rate, oh and funny bond packages that will really hurt the finances during the next administration but hey, its more important they have a black mayor. Yup, some people in Jackson would rather live in a pigpen filled with mud as long as its run by a black person than live in a mansion with a white person as part of the management.

Ben Allen makes Harvey J look decisive.

Anonymous said...

Your right Kingfish im digusted by the leadership that is elected around here its just pathetic. The right person for the job is all that should matter but the voters are to ignorant to notice that.
Thats how people like Kenneth Stokes and his wife Tyrone Lewis and other crooks get elected.

Anonymous said...

I agree with the poster(s) touting Jonathan Lee. Most of the people on that list won't be running, but Jonathan will be running and was left out of the poll. Everyone will learn who he is eventually. As for the others, just pick one - they're all the same.

Anonymous said...

I kind of like Lee, Gibbs, and Walker.

If Lee ran, he would have no trouble raising a lot of cash from the big money folks.

The question is, how can he manoeuvre around the "black enough" question, especially if he does do a lot of big fundraising?

He really is a good guy, and I would like for him to win.

Question for the 11 people who voted for Chokwe:
Why would you support him?

Anonymous said...

37% disagree 9:02. EYHO.

Paul Mitchell said...

Anon 12:07, I voted for Chokwe because Jackson deserves him and I haven't lived in town since 1985.

I would have voted for him more than once if this poll wasn't rigged. I blame RAAAAACISM!!!

Anonymous said...

3:07 Yeah, it was funnier the first time.

I also doubt most of the people on here would join you in wishing ill will on our Capital City.

Paul Mitchell said...

Anon 4:06, are you referring to my comment?

Anonymous said...

Can't get a white mayor huh? The black folks are just trying to keep the white man down! ( Yeah it sounds stupid when ya'll say it too.) Some white folks is what the city needs in case yall haven't noticed. It needs white folks in business, neighborhoods and in government. I am not saying it should be all white but not all black either. Vote with some sense; give a brother or a honky a chance!!!

Anonymous said...

Didn't vote in the poll...didn't see Fat Albert's name on the list. The Republic needs a leader like Kenny.

Anonymous said...

If Lee runs he'll be this cycle's Crisler with little, if any, name recognition. Lee is Uncle Ben's boy.

9:57 can't you stick to your obsession with the Convention Complex? Or with anything positive Jackson, for that matter?

We are sorry you have an ugly wife.

Have you NOTHING in your insignificant, shallow life that you are happy about?

Blah blah blah 9:57. Yawn. ROTFLMFAO A Y loser. Go F Y.

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.
