Why does Longwitz feel the need to release his own poll? Are undecided voters supposed to say "well gee, according to Longwitz, he has a strong favorable ID whereas Billingsly is an "unknown quantity" guess I'll vote for him.

WHAT AN IDIOT....NO CONCEIT IN THAT FAMILY....CANNOT STAND HIM....

Strong name ID as shown by poll. I hang up on all of these polls; however, I'm certain the first question was - Have you heard the name Will Longwitz? Yes or No. Well, if you said Yes, there's your strong name recognition indicator. Say it with me. Bullshit.

I was considering a vote for Longwitz but after this "poll", I think I'm going the other way.

ESTABLISHMENT RINO. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

On the 'crucial ballot test' - WL is 51%? Not that good for an incumbent. Looks like all BB has to do is increase his name ID.

And this appears to be a touchtone poll - which is the cheap way to conduct a poll, but you get what you pay for.

Notice he didn't release the questions, or the crosstabs. They must not have been quite as good as the summary makes it appear.

Let me see if I got this-Longwitz hires a firm to tell everyone he's in the lead? Sounds exactly like something he would do. It's funny because he may have name recognition, but most everyone I know can't stand him.

Don't play dumb @12:06 PM. Billingsley would do the same. Candidates nearly always release internal polling when the numbers are this outstanding. Even though he's already been attacking Longwitz as he knocks on doors the poll probably played some part in Billingsley's decision to go public with his negative attacks regarding Longwitz's role (so far) in the Oxford House story.

I was called in this poll, but when I said I was going to vote for Billingsley it asked me if I'd feel the same if I knew Senator Longwitz had authored the domestic violence thing. I said that wouldn't change my mind so it asked me if I'd feel the same if I knew Senator Longwitz had authored the state employee embezzler thing. It was a push poll, and they don't report how many people were pushed into saying they'd vote for Longwitz. The only poll that matters is the one on August 4.

Will's actually taking a stand on relevant issues has been helpful to him. He also has an incumbent's advantage. Should carry through the election.

I am a frequent reader of this page, and I have an observation to share The same handful of people pile on Longwitz every time his name appears. I am personally intrigued to see how nuclear they go after reading a poll like this one. If 12:11 is any indication, we had better strap in for a mud slinging shit storm to begin

I got that poll too. It wasn't a push poll. You are correct that the only vote that matters is on Aug 4th. I will be voting for Will Longwitz.

Hate to break it to you guys, but I have seen work done by this polling company before. They were +/- 2% in the last midterms. They don't do fake numbers. And they are good at getting it right. I don't know anything about this particular pol, I just know they are good at what they do generally.

What a goober.

Wow. Longwitz was in my neighborhood in Madison and went to my parents house in Jackson too.

Neither candidate has stated his position on the flag. It's not hard to do. I know you both have an opinion on the issue. Bill and Will, where do each of you stand on the State flag issue?

1:19 - true, everyone at OH headquarters cannot stand him. You guys are comical.

Will gets two votes in this house and everyone else we know ( that would be most of NEJ) will also be filling in the dot for Will.

How could you possibly be surprised by this? If it's accurate, it's the inevitable result of: (a) he's an incumbent in an incumbents' year, (b) his opponent thinks Oxhord Houses are great and invited them to start halfway houses IN MADISON, and (3) Franc Lee and the pay-day lenders are financing his opponent.

1:19, you forgot to mention that everyone at Dept of Mental Health hates him for calling them out, and his opponent is taking their money, too.

It's been about 3 months since KF broke the OH news. Of course, Will's been making promises since then. How's his progress going? Still nowhere? Hmmm. Only people chirping support for Will are those fools who believe his empty rhetoric about Oxford House's imminent demise.

I'm no fan of Billingsley either, but at least he's got a some sense. Will couldn't practice law so he's had to run for office.

Duuuuuude.

Rec'd the call. Took the poll. No push poll. Sorry.

I guess the 4-5 Billingsley voters, Bill has been able to garner, are out in full force today posting as fast as their fingers can type. You guys have got to be tired -- why don't you call OH in Maryland. They'll be glad to pick up the baton and continue the race. MDMH workers also get off at 5 today, so they can help pile on.

1:09 pm: If by calling Will an "Establishment RINO" you mean Will is not a Chris McDaniel groupie like your boy Bill Billingsley, so are so correct! If Bill goes in he and Chris can look out the window together.

I'm calling this race 72-28% Longwitz

It amazes me how all you "upstanding citizens" are so scared of a home that currently has 4 men in it. Instead of using all your money to support fighting the criminal in Jackson you spend it on one house of recovery where the men are sober and are causing no problems. Will Longwitz has probably spent more of your tax paying dollars with his smear campaign against OH than any money OH has received. If he is elected he's not going to care one bit about the OH issue.

Pollster (ret.) said...

Got the call also. Problem is, I'm not in the district. But it was a push poll, just not a negative push poll. (Yes, there are two different kinds.)

The fact that after you answered the initial question they 'pushed' with information to see if it would change your opinion. What 3:22 and someone else above had to say about it is based on a common thought about push polls - that they try to change your mind with negative comments about the opponent.

Either way, a push poll. A good campaign tactic, designed to find if the subject of the question changes your mind. If so, candidate adds it to campaign lit.

Push poll? Yes. Bad campaign tactic? No. Accurate poll results? Need the crosstabs to see what the numbers were before the push.

Wait a sec. How is Longwitz spending taxpayer money to "smear " Oxford house?" It seems more like the department of mental-health is wasting over $1 million in taxpayer money to support Oxford house. What am I missing here?

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.
