Jackson Jambalaya

Looks like the Madison County Republican Party is asleep because Jim Hood won Madison County and Karl Banks got back in as supervisor. Glad Tater Tot won!

Well, Karl did need a new tax payer paid car with Fuel Man.

Not the type of porn I prefer but still interesting

That is a big set back for a County with so much "R" power.

Doe anyone know the final vote count between Banks and Harreld for Madison County Supervisor ? I've seen conflicting reports. The CL had an article today saying Harreld won, not Banks.

Voters who know doughboy don't vote for doughboy.

Where can I find that Sherwin-Williams thread about paint drying?

In the case of the race for governor, think deeper than you're thinking. A white population of roughly 58% does not necessarily convert to republicans. There are a lot of young, supposedly upwardly-mobile young couples in this county who have still not begun to question the indoctrination they received in college. Typically, that sheen doesn't begin to wear off until one reaches the age of 40 or 45.

I don't know how to begin to explain the Banks win. However, as with every election in and around Jackson, I suppose the people who voted for him will get what they deserve and the ones who voted against him will not deserve what they're about to get. In either case, it'll be a sad shit-show. Banks 'may have' won, but the people for sure lost.

Word on the skreet has it that John Boy Crosby will be the County Administrator and David Overby will be in charge of keeping the name plates shined up in the Board Room.

Interesting stat regarding Tate/hood: hood got nearly 6-7% of the republican votes.

And it’s a trend that carried over, somewhat, in Madison County.

Tre better be aware of this lest he be a single term governor.

Congratulations Madison. You will always be known for having voted for Hood and Bomgar. Liberals, Liberal-tarians, Marijuana Lovers, Anti-Cop. You are truly Special People.

@11:06 AM the heavy Madison County Republican precincts went heavy for Reeves. My own gave him 65% after voting for Waller 63%+Foster 7% in the primary. The RINO malcontents will come home in 2020 for Trump+Hyde-Smith and will be back for Reeves in 2023. (We went 74% for Hyde-Smith vs Espy in run-off if you need a clue.) Madison County is NOT suddenly in play for Democrats.

We are woke here in Madison!

1:49 - now we know where all the Jackson refugees moved to. Too bad for Ridgeland. They will start to decay like Jackson did in the 90’s in only a few years....and the people that work and live west of I55 will vote to secede and become a new city.

Take a look at the areas that went democratic, Ridgeland precincts with all the apartments and Canton. Also some of the vote was just against Tate in general. he never said anything he was going to do just that Hood was with Pelosi.

I guess you prefer the indoctrination passed on from Ross Barnett on to your Maw-maw and Paw-paw down to your mammy and pappy instead!? SMH

Bruce, we know it's you at 1:49, go get a real job and quit trying to find a taxpayer-funded salary. I think the only reason Hood won Madison was due to the Democrat population of Canton and South Ridgeland, combined with some of the uppity NE Jackson socialite club that's moved to Madison - they clearly don't like Tate. Meanwhile, the guy saying that people who know Tate don't like him must have missed the Rankin County general results.

3:48, I noticed you conveniently avoided the Rankin County Republican primary results. Doughboy lost Rankin to Waller by almost 2,000 votes.

Also some of the vote was just against Tate in general. he never said anything he was going to do just that Hood was with Pelosi.

You've got him for eight years. Enjoy!

Its not as if Madison the County is all white. Not even close.

Get real about Hood and Banks. Hood received some of Judge Wallers support. District 4 is now more white than black. Banks received some white votes—I know from some that did. Did you ever hear Harreld speak—really he is a throw back to the David Richardson days. There are some intelligent folks in Madison County that can think for themselves.

I am so glad that Mississippi packs no weight when it comes to national politics! Enjoy your victory and your vote for Trump in 2020. The rest of the country will keep moving up while Mississippi goes down the tubes but hey the mantra “I got mine to hell with everyone else” crowd is alive and well in the hospitality state!

Madison has just insured ZERO help from the House and the Governor’s Mansion. Let’s hope Delbert can help.

4:51 PM is correct…”Banks received some white votes,” including white Republican votes.

As supervisor David Bishop angered many of his constituents by voting for further development within his district.

The angered constituents voted Bishop out in the Repub primary in favor of Harreld.

Dems, combined with Repubs that are not anti-development…voted for Banks.

Something must be in the water in Madison County because folks just can’t wait to get here…but as soon as their move is complete, they want to be the last person in…and control all of the remaining undeveloped land near where they live.

Greed can be a fickle bitch.

How many total votes did Tate get in Madison County’s and how many did he get in Hinds County? I bet the difference is not much.

Interesting comments. Tater must have pissed off a few Madison republicans and got their votes plus some carpet-bagger dems from Hinds Co.

4:51 - I don't judge folks by the way they speak. I look for results. We saw 30 years of results from Banks, yet 'his people' wanted more of the same. So be it. He completes the trifecta. Truly, Lumumba, Banks...a straight line of corruption. On the other hand, nobody has brought forward a single hint of corruption, favoritism, poor judgment or violation of sound ethical principles regarding Harreld in his decades in the private sector. If you care to, please do. Oh, but you can yap about David Richardson who has been out of office almost 20 years.

Perhaps think deeper still......look at the vote total for the Governor's race and then go down ballot...the Republicans in Madison County apparently didn't like Tate Reeves (maybe Kingfish could enlighten me on what the butt hurt is)...a number of them voted Jim Hood but then went straight Republican down ballot. It's a Tate Reeves problem...not a party problem.....oh, I live in Canton and I voted Reeves...

So 11:43 —-please share all the results Harreld has made. If he can’t articulate a sentence how can he make a motion, I get it—he seconds the motion. Typical 3rd generation losers. Another of the dying off of the Canton ole white guard. Not many left of the hay days of the 1950-60s. Didn’t he have something to do with his brother -n-law the Chancery Clerk that was indicted for embezzlement. Go back and look at all the contracts.

Appears Elvis has entered the building...

Side-note: Banks' boy re-emerges on Planning & Zoning and the petulant physician comes off.

BTW 6:38 - Bishop didn't vote for shit as 'development in his own district'. His focus, as is Steen's, was on ruining Gluckstadt and pandering to his developer friends who kept his bank account solvent for four years. You'll find him in the third cubicle at Mac Haik's Ford Dealership now.
