So will the local Fondrenistas come out to protest or will they have to ship in some union stand-ins to feign their outrage?

So Ms. Fitch will take some personal leave to drive down to the Coast?

Is she that far in debt from her campaign?

War chest in anticipation of upcoming GOP deck shuffle. Big money dissuades little money from getting in.

Good grief people. This is Scott Walker of OS

I know its wrong. I've been trying to correct for the last two hours. Problem is this damn blackberry browser and also opera are not supported with blogger anymore and its not letting me change it. Yeah I know, get an iphone.

Post updated.

a lot of names not on list

I recently learned Haley had put Fitch out at the Employment Security Department headquarters a few years ago (before her staffing and testing credentials allowed her to be elevated to run the personnel board). Word on the street is she was a bully, roundly despised, pretty much defined her own duties and came and went as she pleased. What the hell has this woman got on Barbour and the GOP leadership in Mississippi? Or is it just the smile?

Is this the one who ran commercials about how she could balance a checkbook, so elect her for state treasurer?

At least she didn't get to take her furniture from the Personnel Board ($10,000 worth) like she wanted to! Phil clipped her wings on that one!

Phil has no control over Personnel Board furniture or Fitch's job. She got much better digs where she landed, no doubt. Plus a Crown Vic with tiny letters across the rocker panel so you won't recognize it at Nick's and Jerry's Fish House.

She didn't have anything on Haley. She was friendly with Haley's then chief-of-staff, Charlie Williams, who got her the appointment.

I think she will be remembered or gown down as the candidate who bought the race with daddy's money!

Big deal. Would you rather the bond cartel paid for her. You don't get it. She beat the bond cartel, twice. If its with her own money, so be it.

Daddy always said,"Never trust a big butt and a smile!"

Kingfish: It IS a big deal. And I DO get it. Don't you tire of political hacks like this who bring nothing to the table other than their ability to schmooze their way into the system like a parasitic worm? She'll languish in the system, as so many others have, until it's time to cash in her chips and live off PERS. It's the same as with Harvey's employment agency downtown and school systems all over the state full of relatives and neighbors who will eventually live off the taxpayers. Only difference is Fitch moves in a different circle. Otherwise, identical.

Well, since you are in bed with the bond cartel and on the take, I can see why.

But will Lynn work to shake up the PERS board's out of their lethargy and gross incompetence or go the same rubberstamp route as ChiliCheeseFriesTater?

She's been in the PERS swamp too damned long to rock that boat. Your suggestion is akin to axing Benny Thompson to help outlaw fish frys.

I thought all these comments were very interesting, as always.

I never saw that Fitch mentioned any qualifications in her campaign, wasn't she the one whose little son did her campaigning because he won an election in his classroom? Then she stepped in and said he "learned from her"?

Corruption definitely exists in our government, so why don't we have candidates who can make our state better? Probably because those who are successful in their lives, and are ethical and intelligent, don't want to rub elbows with elected officials they wouldn't even want to speak to on the street.

Fitch will probably run for
Lt. Governor, more's the pity. Who was the woman who was elected who did a pathetic job and who resigned? I don't even remember her name. Was it Amy? Memory fails me.
