Jackson Jambalaya

Probably a good choice, but not enough name recognition. I would hope he did not sap enough votes away from Cochran to give McDaniel a win.

Tight race? Anyone game for a runoff?

@RethinkMS
"In Mississippi's first 100 years as a state, 36 different men served as U.S. Senator. In the past 97 years, there have only been 11"

At a diner in Meridian, Edward Pierce, who is 64 and supported Cochran in each of his six prior elections, said Cochran “came into office in an era of big government growth … and did his job really well.” But, Pierce said, “times have changed and we can’t afford big government anymore. And I don’t see Sen. Cochran changing.”

Conversely, I hope to hell he did.

Since you're a name recognition expert, 9:30, surely you know that's all Cackrun has going for him.

Or keep Cochran under 50%, forcing a runoff with three more weeks of lies, slander and robocalls from out of state.

I got one last night for Ronny Lott from the Jackson Chamber of Commerce from a Las Vegas number. Last I heard he was running in Madison County and Jackson was not in Mad Co.

actually @9:30 AM I hope that Mr. Carey doesn't take away any McDaniel votes and give Grandpa Thaddeus a win. 17 TRILLION dollars (US dollars for you non English speaking immigrants) is enough debt don't you think?

Hey @rethink -
Ever realize that shift came when we moved from legislature appointed senators to popularly elected ones. Are you guys advocating we return to that?

Not me @11:31! I want Haley to appoint all my senators. That's why I'm voting for Thad!!!

With Haley it is annoint, not appoint.

I sure hope this guy doesnt win. He seems like an honest hard working man that wants to make a difference. Becoming a politician in Washington would take the characteristics away from him.

How the hell will Thad stay up late tonite? He must be racked out right now!

I voted at 3:20 at Precinct 33 (Casey School). I was number 332. Seems like a fairly low turnout in what I would assume is a Cochran-leaning box (Eastover, LOHO, Indian Village, Little Europe, et al.). Does a straw indicate which way the wind blows? We'll see.

Why would the blog moderator wait until election day to bring up the third candidate?

I would expect that of Gallo.

KF,
when will the returns start coming in? 7:30? 8? I need to know when to start poppin tops.

I need to know when to start poppin tops.

Start now....avoid the rush.

Doesn't know what they don't know about JJ because Gallo knows zilch.

A realtor whose industry depends on the Feds
propping up the housing market through Freddie
and Fannie is not creating wealth but tapping
into the taxpayers pocket. Power to him but
call it like it is.

Congrats to Mr. Carey. He successfully created his own stimulus package for the media until June 24th at 7:30 pm.

/ because I got a robocall at 7:30 reminding me to vote.

745 right on! I am sick of these Realtors and developers in politics. if they are not millionaires when they go in they are millionaires when they come out. well I shouldn't say that.... most politicians are. and have you ever looked at some of the crazy Mississippi code regarding Realty? it's all in their favor. and all they do is move their business to one of their family members names and keep on truckin' seems like they spend a lot of time to make sure that their industry is well taken care of. folks you need to wake up and quit voting for these people in this type of business. We have one of them in politics now that we need to get rid of....particularly one in Madison County. he is dead weight.
