Jackson Jambalaya

Can someone post a link to the Madison County results? In years gone by the Circuit Clerk Office website posted up to date results. Sadly, no more or else the link is buried on the website.

Good Lawd, Foster appears to be wrecking that shit. He’ll roast Tater in a runoff....great now I’m hungry.

Keep dreaming 8:17.

Happy to see Buck getting his ass whipped early and often.

Just go to home page of county website. Only 2 precincts in. Nothing really worth reporting right now.

Hey KF, let us have some fun. this is like being a leghumper fan and leading in the first five minutes of the game. knowing you are going to get your ass kicked later.

Hood has about the same amount of votes as Tate does and Hood has 7 other felons, I mean politicians, running. Only a small percentage of the results are in but as many have speculated Tate just isn't well liked.

Legit question for the keyboard political analysts on here. ASSuming a runoff between Mr potato and one of the other two. Who wins?does support for the third party go to the anti Tate candidate?

20% reporting in Rankin County and Nic Lott getting spanked!

Mark Baker getting that ass whipped early. Hope it holds.

43% reporting and a paltry 2200+ votes for Waller.

You got about 2 hours to get all of your Tate jabs in, and then the primary season is over and yall can all start touting Mr. Big Hair.

Tate rolls tonight.

AG is the race to watch. Will be a nail biter.

No results online for Bomgar-Bartley......what kind of crap is going on behind the scenes?

I coulda ran for Governor as a democrat and I would not have come in last place. Geez.

Robert Foster is so different than Bill Waller, I can guarantee you his voters will back Tate and Foster himself might endorse Tate if there is a runoff. And there may not be a run off.

Foster is no idiot. His future is bright if Tate wins and Foster is on board. Waller is a one and done candidate.

Truly anemic turnout in NE Jackson. Terrible for Waller.

The baby boomer generation is the worst thing thats ever happened to this country. Until they die off, you can expect the political machines to continue to run the show. Unfortunately, when they die off, it will be too late. That spineless generation has screwed their grandchildren over.

8:53 you need to tune into a channel other than the Disney channel

On a bright note, Vance looks like he may be the next Hinds Co sheriff. On a need some wet naps for that office.

30% in and Jill Ford @ 60.4%!

Most of NE Jackson is anemic. Truth hurts. Go to Walkers and get some red meat. High in iron.

Will be fun to watch Pete Perry explain this total disaster away.

Smells like ass in here!!!

How long until Owens hires Minka?

Is it true that they are serving Sonic tater tots at Table 100 tonight?

If Tate is elected, at least we will finally get that private driveway built at Dogwood. All Mississippians anxiously await!

You got a big time story there Kingfish in Precinct 46.

Jackson is LOST.

All the Republicans in Hinds that crossed over won't be available to Waller in the event of a run-off.

Where's the ol' SPOONER cheerleader tonight? Hopefully buying enough salve for that ass whooping his buddy got tonight.

I look forward to the next 4 years of Sheriff Vance.

So Soros wins..

I didn’t see the mailer you mentioned in 73rd. I did however here about them. Voted against Black for that reason only.

Baker still getting that ass whipped!

Spooner for sheriff!

Is there going to be a run off on the Republican side of the governor's race?

Someone tell me please.

At lease my fellow Madison voters supported Waller. We are woke.

9:27....just watch

Happy to see so many do-nothing legislators getting their asses kicked tonight. Good riddance to Baker and Clarke.

Waller leading in Rankin the entire night should be a message about Tate’s warm personality.

Where is that guy that has been posting for two years that "Spooner is your next sheriff"? Oh wait, that was his wife.

And WTF was that Tannehill guy thinking?

Tonight's the Night? Let it be Lowenbrau.

What’s up with Madison county precincts running out of ballots?

Tate lost Rankin and Desoto. The old saying is if you cant win those two, you cant win. Tater tot may make it out of tonight, but he'd better pay attention. The runoff will be interesting.

Honestly, can someone tell me how Mason gets any votes at all??? Is it just a stick in of the eye of whitey?

Foster may back Tate, but it will cost him. His supporters are not...not interested in voting for Tater.

Hinds County is a glutton for punishment..electing Owens will price to be a very poor choice. So much for a chance at turning the DAs office into a prosecutor’s office

Tate did not lose Rankin and Desoto. You know we all have internet right?

Mason isn't sticking it in the eye of whitey. Mason made a runoff because whitey doesn't want the HCSO under the control of a person named Lumumba. Mason wins the run off.

David McRae is now part of the GOP bullpen? ROFLMAO

I will vote for Hood if it comes down to it. It’ll be the first time in my life voting for a democrat. Guess it’s time to grow a beard and get my ears pierced.

Jill Ford swamps Johnny Black with 65.8%!

Antar tries to take out John Horhn and fails miserably.

Baker still getting his ass kicked! Uh, Feel can you hear me now?

SPOONER FOR SHE-.....

hahahaha. Suck it Wes!!

10:23 you'd better check your internet connection.

It’s official, good riddance to Buck Clarke.

Jeff Smith on the verge of getting beat?

So, Hood said in his victory speech that he will clean up government corruption as governor. I guess cleaning up corruption wasn't part of his job description as AG.

Who are the two clown pundits burping ignorance on WJTV-12? Clearly the worst local commentators I've ever heard.

Dear 10:24
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Foster is way more in line on policy with Waller than Tate.

The Tate haters vow to vote for Hood and in the process pout EXACTLY like McDaniel voters did in 2014.

Most of these candidates don’t have souls.

Baker, you can’t vote to defund the AG’s Office or cut their budget and expect to be voted as their leader. Bye!

Republican Party is all but dead in Hinds County.

Good Lord, Bobby Moak has to be pushing 300 pounds at this point.

@11:02 money bet that Baker will not pick a candidate to endorse since he lost. Shows his real character.
L

I been wondering where Condenlula went..She ran for Sheriff. Used to see her on tv all the time.

Really hate to see Bomgar survive. Money and Libertarian thought process are alive and well. He is the George Soros of this state and will be the leader of our 'dark state' in short order.

Not sure there is a bridge left in Madison County that Johnny Black didn't burn.

@11:37, you win for best comment of the night!

Did Grant Callen lose too? Oh, that's right. He wasn't a candidate. He was just funneling money to Merle Flowers through the PAC he runs to support Joel Bomgar's picks via character assassination of their opponents. I'm a hypocrite, you say? Nah, those guys assassinated their own characters.

Does anyone know a Reeves voter? Who are these people?

What was WJTV thinking? Bobby Moak? I was embarrassed for him.

Spooner is your next sheriff. In 2023

The character assassinations on Bomgar continue even after a double digit victory. Bomgar just gave the finger to the establishment, including Bryant and Mayor Magee and Superintendent McGehee. Good for him.

Foster was on the right of Tate. I just don't see Foster's people all leaping over and joining the far left Waller crowd. The Waller crowd is the same group that would have voted for Hood but now they can claim to have supported a republican.

Not to mention, Foster knows his political future is bright if he backs Tate at this point. Waller will be in a nursing home in 4 years so Foster gets nothing out of backing Waller.

Baker. Goes. Down. In. Flames.

The bangs did Foster in. Gotta move past the frat boy look.

Fitch going to a runoff helps Tate, especially since her opponent will not be Baker. Taggart and Waller will be painted so liberal you won't recognize them in three weeks.

“1,455 margin between Taggart and Baker. Should Baker have attacked Taggart instead of Fitch so much? Did they take Taggart for granted? Something to ponder on the tree of woe, grasshopper. “

It sure would have been nice for the NEVER TRUMP TAGGART to have lost last night instead of Baker so we could be guaranteed a good AG either way.

Now we’ve got to get the Run Off vote out and make sure someone claiming to be Republican but would have preferred two Clinton SCOTUS picks over Trump’s Gorsuch and Kavanaugh…doesn’t slither into office.

Never been more proud to be a Madison’s County resident (well, maybe since Rudy got canned) than right now seeing that Waller stomped Tate here. Glad at least the people around me have some sense, even if 48% of the state doesn’t.

I live in Brandon and the fact that Tate lost in his home county should scare the hell out of him. Will the Foster voters switch to Bill? I hope so.

I never dreamed I'd see a day when David Archie is in a runoff, but this is Hinds County.

August 7, 2019 at 1:51 AM - I voted for Reeves. I held my nose as I did, just as I did for Trump. I voted for him simply because he was the only one on record who was opposed to expanding Medicaid. I really, really wanted to support Waller, but this issue was too important to me.

Would someone please tell these white folks they don't own the Republican Party (Trump Does). When I went to vote I had one of them ask me what I was doing in the Republican Line.

Reporters question: Could you be so unlikable that you won't win your home county?
Tate's answer: Jim Hood won't but I will!

August 7, 2019 at 1:51 AM - I voted for Reeves. I held my nose as I did, just as I did for Trump. I voted for him simply because he was the only one on record who was opposed to expanding Medicaid. I really, really wanted to support Waller, but this issue was too important to me.

The Feds will foot a majority of the program!? When will many of you start thinking for yourselves instead of letting your chosen party do your thinking for you???

Both Foster and Waller understand that - along with a bulk of the voters in the biggest counties in this state. Thank Gawd Madison and Rankin County got a clue!

Waking up to see Tate LOST RANKIN COUNTY. wow

@6:42 Agreed. Why the hell did an old man in overalls behind the table ask me what party I was? And then send me to "the republican table"? I told him I was an Independent, and he replied, "We don't have that." He said, "Are you more liberal or conservative"? and the old fool tried to explain to me the difference with a scowl on his face like I was an idiot. He probably would have blown a gasket if I told him I was Libertarian.

I thought open primaries they weren't allowed to ask your affiliation....

6:42am There should not be a Republican or Democrat line in the general, race baiter. Only in the run-off where they check your name.

5:58am Are you also proud of that 35% turnout rate? Crying shame one of the most wealthy and educated counties of the state have such a pathetic turnout.

@1:51am: Reeves won 76 out of 82 counties. Maybe you should get out more!!

To the people saying Foster will back Reeves, you have lost your damn mind. His dislike for Tate is the sole reason he entered the race.

"...the old fool tried to explain to me the difference with a scowl on his face like I was an idiot. He probably would have blown a gasket if I told him I was Libertarian. I thought open primaries they weren't allowed to ask your affiliation."

He didn't ask your affiliation or preference, dumb ass. He asked you which ballot you wanted. There is no libertarian, independent or dumb-ass ballot. I hope someone drove you to the polls.

6:42 a.m. - Same thing happened to me, old black lady wanted to know why I was voting democrat. When will people learn.

Anybody else think Hood sounded like Joe Biden Light last night ? He came across like a blithering idiot.

that arrogant badass wanna be rankin county attorney richard wilson , who had been there 17 years taking care of his "friends", got beat in a landslide by an opponent who didn't even have enough money to buy campaign signs. that ought to tell you what kind of person wilson is.

To the people saying Foster will back Reeves, you have lost your damn mind. His dislike for Tate is the sole reason he entered the race.

I don't know? There are so many variables and too many people taking stuff for granted.

Lucien Smith was bragging on Paul Gallo this morning on how many people voted in the Republican primary.

But at the same token you look at some of the counties Tate Reeves did win, more people voted in the Democratic primary instead of the Republican primary.

Then who's to say more Republicans crossed over to vote in the Democrat primary opposed to the Dems that crossed over and voted in the Republican primary?

The only guarantee is that Tate Reeves has the gulf coast on lock and neither Hood or Waller has a chance down there. But when you look at the rest of Mississippi, Hood and Waller will give Reeves a run for his money through November, if Waller doesn't knock him out on August 27th

Guess Baker can’t get off his high horse and be a gentleman with a concession speech

Hood—-was comical last night. If he gets elected governor he is gonna clean up corruption. Hello! Hasn’t he been the chief law enforcement person in MS for the past 8 years? Funny, fun, fun.
R governor race— Daddy Waller is dead. Let him Rest In Peace. MS for far too long has been stuck in the pass. Tate was impressive in debate. His knowledge of MS was superb, but he has been Lt. G. for 8 years. Impressed the way he defended himself against attackers with FACTS. Foster has a bright future in MS politics. Foster would be foolish to back Waller, & I don’t think he’s foolish; Waller is the past, Reeves the present, & Foster the future. Foster voters will definitely vote for Reeves. As said, Waller is history. Plus, MS can not afford Waller’s liberal ideas.
R AG—- Fitch is the one. Look for Baker’s supporters to with for her. She is a great lady! People do not trust (Kasich)Taggart THE NEVER TRUMPER. 2 conservative USSCJ, a booming economy even with people like Mr. Taggart fighting his ever turn.
The winning ticket: Reeves/Fitch

7:22 when I entered the guy at the door directed me to the Democratic ballots, when I went to the Republican LINE a lady turned around and asked what I was doing in the line. Call it race baiting but she didn't ask any of the white folks why they were in line.

Waller just needs to pull 100% of the Foster vote. Plus get 100% of his own back. Never happen.

How different would last night's results be if there was an open primary, especially in Hinds County? I think Mason would have not been in the run-off with open primaries.

10:10

Be honest. How many black people do you know that would vote Republican.

It's not profiling any more than asking why a dude is in line to go in the ladies' bathroom

I am not attempting to be racist. It's, sadly, just a fact.

10:10 - black folks directed me to the republican line and stared at me like (why is that old white man in the democrat line) when I moved over to the democrat line. I guess this race thing is a two headed monster.

Mark could have had a new personality installed for much less than $2,000,000

@7:25 am - Madison county voter here. I waited in line for over an hour and a half to vote. I showed up at 6:30 like I normally do due to having to be at work by the time the polls open and my precinct being out of the way. I've never had any issues. There was a line out the door due to the machines breaking. The precinct subsequently ran out of paper ballots and there was a single emergency machine that required a special ballot. The poll workers counted out how many emergency ballots they had left and turned away the remaining voters (at least 5 or so) and there were a handful that left when they found out about the wait. At some point around 8 pm, a county or GOP official brought more ballots to the precinct so the line moved faster. I heard there were issues at another Madison precinct as well, so apparently the voter turnout in Madison was higher than anticipated. I find it shameful as well that our turnout is low. If you can't be bothered to vote, why bother complaining?

The fact that people think Bill Waller is liberal blows my mind. For 20+ years he wrote judicial opinions that are anything but liberal.

MS for far too long has been stuck in the pass. Tate was impressive in debate. His knowledge of MS was superb, but he has been Lt. G. for 8 years............. Reeves the present, & Foster the future.

No one else sees the irony from this post? LOL!!!!!

You can't talk about Mississippi being stuck in the past when all Tater Salad could muster for his campaign talking points is to MAINTAIN Mississippi's CONservative values.

There's no bright present or future with anything pertaining to Reeves or Foster. They'll continue making life easy for Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, and Arkansas while maintaining Mississippi's ass-backward image

10:44 that goes for whites voting Democrat too?

That's Mississippi politics for you. The parties are racially divided in this state

However, at least there are white Democrats that are able to win office with black voters

Whereas the Mississippi GOP has still not elected a black Republican to public office since reconstruction.

11:37 Irony? Define please? How is the post ironic? Many of us may not be as intelligent as u.
Tater Salad? Characterization indicative of ones intelligence.
I suspect that both Mr. Reeves & Mr. Foster have both been far more successful & productive in their lives than u. I further suspect that they both r far more respected in their communities.
Have u considered getting medical assistance? Not LOL.

"The fact that people think Bill Waller is liberal blows my mind. For 20+ years he wrote judicial opinions that are anything but liberal."

Sadly that is the Reeves spin machine. They claim he's a lifelong democrat, not knowing how Mississippi's primary system works and him living in hands county. Hopefully he can raise the money and defeat Tate. Our roads are latterly crumbling before our feet and Tate is touting he is not raising taxes. Our state is broke. Yes our taxes are low, but we are living in a shit hole compared to other states. How else can we function? I hear him talking no new taxes, well just with inflation in the past few years, if we want to keep up, something has to get cut. I haven't heard him mention not one thing about cutting programs.

Side note, Tate's Finance Chair is Billy VanDevender and he is directly and openly opposing the pumps the South Delta needs to keep from being under water for over 6 months. People without jobs, farmers(one of MS's biggest industries) not being able to make a crop, all their input retailers not selling, and road beds under water. Why no one is making a scene about this is beyond me. Yazoo, Warren, Sharkey, Issaquena counties Reeve's shouldn't have gotten a damn vote.

Looks like ole Gov Feel Bryant ‘s endorsement didn’t mean much. Some folks can see right thru an ego maniac that has keep Mississippi number 50 with his rhetoric. With Walmart laying off folks he may have a hard time getting a job in January.

The story has not changed. If the black vote turns out, Hood wins regardless of who is the Republican nominee.

@11:37 THANK. YOU. Waller is NOT liberal.

This tactic of trying to out-right each other is nauseating. What do ideas matter when I've got a picture with Trump proving I'm a Republican? PUHLEASE.

Glad it didn't work for Johnny Black, at least.

It amazes me how these revisionist historians all forget that everyone, repeat: EVERYONE, thought Trump's candidacy was a joke at first.

Supporting Medicaid expansion is far from conservative. Whether you like or hate Reeves, he is the only one standing firm against that boondoggle.

Anybody that has been on this board gripping about Obamacare for years cannot support Waller without being a complete hypocrite.

@11:21am - You should ask the Madison County Election Commissioners and the Madison County Circuit Clerk why precincts were running out of republican ballots not posting the question here. That problem and failure lands squarely in their respective wheel houses. From what I hear, the Republican committee contracted with the Madison county election commissioners to run the republican election for them. I would love to know what their answer would be.

The democratic committee ran their own.

Looks like ole Gov Feel Bryant ‘s endorsement didn’t mean much

And Cecil Brown's even less.

Reeves will squash Waller like a bug in the run-off. And will beat Hood by 10 or so in the general. All of the Never Tate conservatives will stick with him in the general.

11:37 Irony? Define please? How is the post ironic? Many of us may not be as intelligent as u. Tater Salad? Characterization indicative of ones intelligence. I suspect that both Mr. Reeves & Mr. Foster have both been far more successful & productive in their lives than u. I further suspect that they both r far more respected in their communities. Have u considered getting medical assistance? Not LOL.

You used the word "future" in your post and conservatives do not look to the future, because the definition of "conservative" is 'holding to traditional attitudes and values and cautious about change or innovation, typically in relation to politics or religion.' or 'a person who is averse to change and holds to traditional values and attitudes, typically in relation to politics.'

So, yes there was irony in your comment by using the word "future" referring to any "conservative" politician in Mississippi.

Now I didn't question their productivity as human beings or levels of success. They have both won positions in public office. Kudos to them.

It still doesn't change what they have done or would do with higher office and how their positions on public policy are not in the best interest of Mississippi in my personal opinion. Especially considering our neighboring states are kicking our collective butts economically.

12:33, Thin-skinned sarcasm? Check. Responding to criticism with personal attacks? Check. Is that you, Tate?

11:37 u r sick to suggest that there is no place in the future for traditional attitudes & values.

11:37 u r sick to suggest that there is no place in the future for traditional attitudes & values

Well when you stick to traditional attitudes and values, guess what happens? You are not growing and adapting to the environment. You are not learning from your mistakes, because you assume you are already doing everything right.

Tate Reeves harps on conservative values, which means he wants to return to the glory days of segregation, Jim Crow, and Color Codes.

That apathetic mindset is what keeps Mississippi at the bottom. Time to get some folks in there that don't want to keep Mississippi at the bottom

Jackson just elected a DA with no felony trial experience. AT ALL. Like none. Not one felony trial.

August 7, 2019 at 10:03 PM = Deranged

Yep, 10:55. After years of having no DA, we will now have a DA with no experience and, from what I hear, not the best work ethic, all because George Soros bought him the election.

Willie Simmons survived to run another day. This guy has 52 years of employment in the PERS retirement system. County them! Fifty Friggin' Two years. In '67 he was a pre-release counselor at the big house north of Drew and he's been suckin' the public egg ever since. If elected, he will retire at 100% of his salary plus, PLUS SLRP. Plus HE UGLY!

Re the new Jackson DA, I looked at Pacer. He has never handled any criminal case at the federal level. Don't know about state level.

@10:03 : If you intend to claim that conservative values are anolgous to Jim Crow then you must concede that liberal values are analogous to the Stalin, Mao, Hilter, Pol Pot, et al.

10:03PM u should really get some professional help.
