Jackson Jambalaya

Charles Barbour is the clear winner, followed by Dorsey Carson. Barbour's experience showed and he had a firm grip on the issues.

Much ado about nothing. A race to be the lone dissenting vote on everything. I do think ashby could keep us entertained.

I thought the same thing and I do not live in jackson, nor do I have anything to gain from him winning or loosing.
Charles Barbour (sp)?
I also only saw the introduction....I can spot real from bs an iPads length away, I guess.
Carsey is 2nd best, but flimsy.
If ward whatever wants to elect the republican poster child developer guy, then let them do so. But I don't think going into jackson city hall 'guns blazing' is going to do any good whatsoever. Quite the opposite, in fact.

I wish Mr. C. Barbour would become less presumptuous and pushy in his approach for money and votes. A real turn off.

Ain't voting for no Barbour. Will consider each of the other 4 and what they bring to the table but ain't voting for no Barbour.

Yall have one chance to get this right before you have to come to suburgatory. YOU DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN SUBURGATORY.
Signed,
I live in suburgatory.

If Barbour wins, how much money will his wife steal?

I heard suburgatory was kinda nice.

8:38 Just what do you think the new Ward 1 Councilman will do to save Jackson? What was Quentin Whitwell able to accomplish? How much can anyone accomplish with the other yahoos on the Council?

Crime in Ward 1 has jumped off the charts over the past couple of years. Kingfish has shown us with his post about Broderick's multiple arrest/releases that not much is being done about it, even when the citizens and cops know who to watch for. My area has known about Brodrick and his running buddies for well over a year, during which several of them have been arrested multiple times. Guess what, the same perps still cruise by week after week looking for opportunities to make the rest of us victims.

I went to the forum. Dorsey comes across as very polished - he's obviously smart. I know his politics so i couldn't support him, but he is impressive for this type race.

Charles Barbour was equally good in his own way. He went through his record as supervisor for Hinds County and it's impressive. He looks to have a lot of support in the area.

Ashby Foote seemed to be intelligent but appears to be lost in this type environment. Politics is new to him, so that is an issue he will have to deal with.

Amile is a bright future and big ideas. Good he's in the race.

Thanks for the summaries since I didn't get to go. Did drive by on my way home after visiting Dad in the nursing home and was pleased to see a good turnout. The only one of these guys I know personally is Ashby, and while I appreciate his desire to serve the community, someone with more political savvy would probably be a better better.

Ashby was clearly the smartest one in the room. I thought he did much better than I expected. So did the doofus Charles Barbour.

Ashby is new to politics, but not new to public issues. Ashby has been President of the Bigger Pie Forum (www.biggerpieforum.org)which has exposed the bad effects of crony capitalism on Mississippi's economy (esp. the Kemper plant and Kior). He has been intelligent, thoughtful newsletter writer on public and economic issues for years.
Yes, Dorsey is both polished and smart.
Charles is intelligent.
We have some good choices here.

Amazing how quickly memories fade among my fellow Republicans in NE Jackson. The revisionist history that Charles Barbour was some pillar of leadership during his time on the Hinds County BOS is absurd. Doug Anderson ran roughshod over Charles Barbour.

The Democrats on the City Council are not going to work with the bombastic egotist Charles Barbour. They'll find accommodations with the other Republicans running in this special election but there is no way in hell they are going to work with Charles Barbour. No way in hell.

4:13 Yeah, maybe sending someone up to the City Council named Barbour ain't a generally a smart idea.

4:13 and 4:35 - Hello McDaniel supporters. We know you hate all things Cochran and Barbour, but remember how bad Cochran trounced your candidate in Hinds County. i think votes are still rolling in....

4:13 here. Sorry lamebrain. Voted for Cochran.

I am supporting Charles Barbour and you should too!

Sincerely

Will

In case you missed it, Sellers is really excited.

9:04 - LOL seems like Sellers is excited, but I think he is in it for the right reasons. I have some mutual friends of Sellers and from what I hear he is the real deal.

He was on Ben Allen's radio show Tuesday morning and was very impressive!

I personally know Charles.
He does seek the right balance for the public, and has high strong morals, in which Jackson needs to evolve.
He is a devout believer in the truth and listens and seeks God's will.
If I vote, it will surely be for Charles Barbour.
Think Holy, speak Holy and act Holy.
