Espy is running. Vote in poll.

Mike Espy told JJ that he will run in the special election that will be held to replace retiring Senator Thad Cochran.  Mr. Espy is a former District 2 Congressman and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture.  There will be no party affiliation nor party primaries in the election. This is going to be interesting.  Governor Bryant said he will not appoint himself to the position although the Kingfish thinks he should imitate The Kingfish and hold both offices. 

Vote in the poll to the right.  JJ asks who you would vote for in a special election.  Vote early and often.

As someone on another thread mentioned, he's had his day in the sun and most of us, especially ones with long memories, have no desire to give him another shot at D.C. Let's find an good, honest and principled person to put in this seat (a tall order I know)

Boy, he shafted Flaggs.

Now he knows better than to waste his time doing this. I would expect some novice democrat to run not having a clue that they have no chance, not a seasoned veteran.

Huey P., the one and only. Often imitated, never duplicated.

Yes, please consider voting for Mike Espy, the ONLY candidate qualified for this job.

This political announcement paid for Tyson Foods.

Please put an option for "None of the Above" on the poll.

Please.

Bryant will take this poll as a mandate!

I think Tate would be a great appointee. Get him out of the state, and send him to DC. He'll do less harm as 1 of a 100 than he would do as governor.

I'll take Sen. Michael Watson.

It's probably safe to assume the DSCC / Schumer urged him to run and promised him $$$$. They'll try to freeze out any other Dems. It's an open ballot special election with no party affiliation (I think) which could give Espy an interesting shot if several Republicans jump in.

We need Phil Bryant as our Sen.! He is the greatest American since George Washington

The Republicans should be very concerned, Mike can get out the vote in all corners of the state, there might not even be a run off if no other major Democrat runs.

Carpetbaggers, one and all!

I'm with the other guy, there needs to be a "None of the above" choice.

Governor Phil should give the seat to Haley. He's up there most of the time already, isn't he?

What about that doofus truck driver that ran for governor last time?? He'd be better than these clowns!

"Mike Espy, the Democrat that's not too chicken to run!"

Mike Espy would be taking a pay cut if elected....

He will find a way to make up the difference just like last time.

Dang! I thought the good Guvnah appointed the replacement Senator?

Whatta you mean by 'should imitate the Kingfish'?

YES! Espy to D.C. with Rudy Wharnokken running his field offices. They together will bring more jobs to Mississippi in one year than Bennie Thompson has in the past 25. I mean, hell, how tough can it be to bring in three jobs?

Anonymous said...

Espy will be guaranteed to make the runoff and has a good shot at any of the weaker Republicans Tater, McDaniel, and so forth.

How old is Dilbert, anyway?

If seniority is the name of the game, don't we want someone who has several decades left before reaching the status of the current incumbent?

Anonymous said...

Dilbert & Phil are in the running to be Trump's chief economic advisor, they don't want to be a senator.

Anonymous said...

Delbert is the best choice despite his age.

Anonymous said...

Looking at Dilbert's picture, on JJ, he might be thinking "roll me another one, just like the other one". just sayin'

The Blue textbook is making inroads in Texas. Could it work here too.

Appoint the Honorable Tomie Green--add her to the poll. She would do a lot less damage to our state in D.C. than she does as the senior circuit judge in Hinds County.

Why isn’t Philip Gunn I’m your poll?

Paul Mitchell said...

Lil Chok is the logical choice.

Anonymous said...

No Steven Holland? This list is incomplete!

Anonymous said...

Wouldn't it be great if your poll included some younger people and not the same ole folks. I guess one can dream. I am SO tired of recycling elected officials.

Gunn.

Paul Mitchell; What the hell is that growth on your neck?

If he gets elected, he can probably get some free tickets to sporting events.

Please. No more ESPYS.

ESPYS? Aren't they the meaningless awards given out by ESPN that have nothing to do with sports but everything to do with virtue signaling?

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.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
