Hood has a serious GOTV problem. His internal polling has his camp wigging out.

But, but, but how can this be?!?!? Hood himself says he’s conservative and that we’ve got nothing to worry about by voting for a democrat. Yet Barry Sotello has a robocall supporting him? Have we been lied to???

Tater must be really scared. That ad kinda seems shady...like it was cut together from lots of older speeches. With Trump and Pence here,
Tater should win by 10 points. Anything less is proof of voters totally disdain of Tater. No other way to spin that. Putting lipstick on a pig still makes that pig a pig. Just saying.

Probably work of Republicans.

President Obama was unquestionably a better president than trump. Every day is a new controversy or crime uncovered followed by more embarrassing tweet storms and resignations.

Wow. I was expecting a close race. Now Hood is so clueless that he sends out an endorsement from the worst President in my lifetime. When voters hear that call it's only natural they will also connect to all the insanity coming from the Dim presidential debates. I'm shocked that Hood isn't trying to get as far away from these loony toons as possible.

President Obama was unquestionably a better president than trump. Every day is a new controversy or crime uncovered followed by more embarrassing tweet storms and resignations.... Bizzarro thinking there. Make a list of all the things Trump has done that have helped the nation. Then make a list of anything that Oboma did that helped the nation. As for crimes, Trump has certainly been accused of everything under the sun. Many of the 'crimes' he was accused of weren't illegal. In fact, in almost three years they have yet to find one crime that he committed. The left keeps pretending he's done awful things yet they can't seem to say exactly what they are. They can say lots of things they don't like, but they can't possibly think less of him than we thought of Oboma. Just 5 more years. The main difference will be after 8 years of O people saw the country going in the wrong direction and wanted change. After 8 years of Trump they will want more.

Trump is had a little over 21% black turnout at the tupelo rally last week. 27% of the crowd were democrats that voted Trump. The issue is this for tate that sorry excuse for a man... the issue is the blacks vote wouldn't vote Romney McCain etc only Trump. Other than that they don't vote or vote democrat. Look up several polls. NAACP poll shows Trump with 42% black male support as of 10 days ago. Doesn't mean they will vote tate. I'm voti g Trump and not hood as a black male myself.

Can we get a police welfare-check on 10:40, please. Think he choked on Kool-Aid. A terrible death.

10:40, nobody cares, (not that I agree or disagree with you). This is Mississippi and if this governor's race becomes Trump vs Obama, Trump wins.

The whole reason the US is stuck with Trump is backlash over 8 years of Obama.

He stoops to conquer.

10:40 PM The nations rank and file law enforcement officers might disagree with you on that statement.

Yep, this smacks of a Haley Barbour tactic. He will do anything to get his puppet elected. And note how Barbour Snow is infiltrating the state's economic development sector with their ownership of Grey Swoope's consulting firm. What a bunch of snakes.

I was on the fence. Obama pushed me off. This will be the deciding factor that will kill Hood.

10:40, how? Obama increased the velocity of of the erosion of civil discourse, was directly responsible for several scandals and lied repeatedly to the American public about his programs. He surrounded himself with communists, extremists and enemies of the state. I admit that at times its tough to endure Trump's style, but on substance he is delivering. Democrats are endangering and holding back this country's potential by consuming all of congress' time with bullshit investigations. This is what Democrats do, if they accuse you of something, they are probably doing it 10x worse...

Win or Lose - I have thoroughly enjoyed voting against Tate Reeves for the last couple of months and I will really enjoy voting against him today!

That som'itch does not deserve a promotion!

#NeverTater

If anybody is swayed one way or the other by this robo-call, they need to sleep in today and stay the hell away from the polling place.

You simply can NOT have walking around sense and be affected by this nonsense. And, yes, it's nonsense whether real or fake.

6:05 - What you will realize tonight about 10:00 is that Mississippian's would much rather have 'Haley's Puppet' than 'Nancy's Puppet'.

On the racetrack of politics, this time, the Elephant outruns the Donkey.

November 4, 2019 at 10:40 PM is triggered because the "gub'mint cheese" is no longer available.

Hello Darlin'

Nobama robocalls are the kiss of death. Ignore 10:40 and his multiple posts => troll (possibly the Hoodster himself).

Gosh, I got a call " Please hold. President Trump is on the line".

Given the tactic, I suspect the GOP figured tying Hood to Obama one more time in Mississippi would reap benefits.

Boy, y'all are gullible. The Democratic strategy is embarrassingly bad, but not this stupid. They do actually know they'd have a high risk of calling Obama haters.

So What? The man is running as a Democrat, so he's going to get Democrat support whether he's conservative, moderate, or raving socialist. Big deal, doesn't mean Obama ever heard of Jim Hood or really gives a damn. Mike Pence probably washed his hands with Lysol after shaking hands with the hick Tater, but he is running as a Republican and it's just party bullshit. So what? Get over it!

I voted for Jim Hood every time he’s run for AG. I voted for Moore before Hood. It worked very well having a Dem AG combined with a Republican Governor and legislature. They “kind of” kept each other under control and I will miss this.

But, radical leftists have taken over the Democratic Party and there’s just no way I can vote Democrat today, and maybe not ever again. They have become extreme anti-civil liberties and in the process they’ve really lost their minds.

Hood suddenly worried about black turnout and spending the last week feverishly working the black Democrat base is all you need to know.

Robin Hood was last seen campaigning in The Delta, promising more free stuff to the poor, who have been kept poor by the Dems since at least LBJ's "Great Society."

Try to find one reason why the Republican campaign would not be behind this. They would never resort to such tactics? After all, Mississippi politics has always been better than this. DUH

Democrats are pissed because they lost the last Presidential election with ostensibly the worst candidate ever, so they began a pattern of illegal activity the likes of which this country has never seen before in an attempt to delegitimize a duly elected President. Beginning with an improperly/illegally predicated and fraudulent filing before the FISA Court, continuing with an improperly authorized counterintelligence investigation and accompanying surveillance, add to that fabricated allegations by several Western intelligence agencies and you have the making of a pre-meditated coup. Obama, Clapper and Brennan have a lot to answer for.

I didn't like Obama's policies, or his air of elitist entitlement, but I would never advocate for the illegal removal of a sitting President, I wanted him and the country to succeed. Democrats are different - when they lose or things don't go their way, they want to change the rules, blame others, and cast dispersions on those with whom they disagree rather than debate issues. When disagreements arise over policies and issues, rather than have an honest debate based on facts, Democrats almost immediately resort to the most outrageous ad hominem attacks.

So Democrats, since you're so much brighter and more sophisticated, why not engage in constructive dialogue with the President and seek out areas of common ground? Look past the surface and do the work of the American people...as all of these theories of collusion and illegal activity fall apart you are wasting time, and we are losing patience.

Hey, isn't that the same Obama who would totally destroy the country if he got a second term in the white house? The same guy who would deliver the country to the Muslims if he was president? The same guy who would destroy the economy and make all our money worthless? The worst president in the history of the universe? If that's him I can understand why his endorsement is the kiss of death. But why would such a man call me?

@8:45 you're saying Obama did the call at the Republican's behest? LMAO

No legally required disclaimer makes the robocall an illegal campaign advertisement. Going to republican households mean its likely from the republican side. Smacks of desperation. Let’s see if the election officials investigate this fraud. Whoever paid for it may some ‘splainin’ to do. Time to end dirty trick robocalls once and for all.

8:45...YOU try to find one voter who could possibly be swayed one way or the other by the call. Republicans are not the ones who waste money on stupid bullshit. That would be democrats.

Besides, if this had been Republican sponsored, the calls would have been programmed to come at 10:00 a.m. this morning to wake democrats up.

8:35 Sorry to interrupt, but the poor in the Delta were kept poor by the Democrats long before LBJ was born. Even long before those Democrats became Republicans.

I don't like the way Hood smiles - He looks like Andy Rooney. And I don't like the way Reeves smiles - He looks like a carved pumpkin. But, damned if I want a democrat back in my governor's mansion.

I’ve voted for Republicans I’m the past, but I can’t in good conscience any more. Trump worshippers have dragged the entire party into the swamp, with every party member seemingly willing to spit on the constitution as long as they get their corporate bribes under the table. It’s impossible for me to act as an enabler to these traitors. Hopefully the party will split at some point and a new more reasonable, thoughtful and compassionate right will come out of all this darkness, until then it’s a straight democrat ticket for me.

What's wrong with Andy Rooney?

9:26: Stuart, is that you?

Let’s see if the election officials investigate this fraud.

Like the nooses and 'hate signs' left at the Mississippi Capital during Hyde-Smith v Espy? Are you wanting that investigation completed also?

Hopefully the party will split at some point and a new more reasonable, thoughtful and compassionate right will come out of all this darkness ...

I agree. The RINOs should have a collection of Losers party all to themselves.

@9:06, I was wondering how long it was going to take before the disproven "Southern Switch" was mentioned...please defend your claim.

Obama? Hood will surely lose now.

Nurse! 100 mg of Thorazine IM stat in 8:54. And for God's sake please tell maintenance to block Fox news from his television!

I don't believe for one second that the Hood campaign would have Obama do a robocall for Hood at the last minute. It seems far more likely that some group interested in Hood losing would pay for a good Obama impersonator to do the read and pay for the robocall to get EXACTLY THIS BACKLASH at the last minute.

@9:34, good point --- what is the status of that noose investigation...another hoax "hate crime" by the usual suspects?

It just makes me sad to think these are the best two candidates we can come up with to run for this office.

I find it hard to believe 10 JJ readers would've even answered a robocall.

I thought we're smarter than that now?

Where’s the Election Day thread?

10:10 We had a better candidate but he was too liberal for the R's and too conservative for the D's. We will never get better candidates when both parties do their best to destroy the other candidates versus cordial debate and differences of opinion. Politics these days are way more brutal than they used to be. The best people for the job have lives outside of being groomed to be a career politician and don't want to subject themselves to all that it entails.

To all the Time Foil hat nuts in this thread...

If the GOP was behind it, they would have used Hillary instead of Obama. Would be much scarier!!!! Lol

Sorry, 10:23, 10:34, 6:05, 7:57, 8:45, & 9:03 - Katie Hill, communications director for Obama's office, confirmed that Obama recorded the call. Well, I guess he could be on the Republican payroll.

10:10 this is part of the reason Trump has to fight this illegal attempt to get his tax returns made public. Because if they could, the net affect long after Trump is gone would be to keep good people from running for office. The only reason to get his tax returns is to harass him. We already know in general what's on his returns anyway. He hired the best CPA's he could find and told them, "I want to pay the least amount of taxes I can legally pay." Essentially, the same thing everyone else does. The only difference being that Because of the nature and size of Trump's businesses, not one person in 1,000 can look at his returns and tell if he's done anything illegal. Fortunately, the IRS has already done this for us, as it does every year. (Of course the Dims will CLAIM he's done something illegal.) Back to the larger point, the candidates in general aren't much to brag on,but we voters are somewhat to blame. Example: there was a judge in Alabama running for something, US Senate I think. The guy had been running for political office for years and years with no scandal. Last year, just a very days before the election, the other side 'discovers' he had dated a very young girl many years ago and that was supposed to disqualify him. Now, in short order it was shown that the main evidence was forged. It was agreed by both sides that the girl's mother approved of their dating. But the voters flipped and wouldn't vote for him. After he lost no one was interesting in getting to the truth, so we don't really know what happened. All we know is someone came up with this story at the last minute when he would have little chance at defense. If we want better candidates to run, we as voters have to call bullshit on last minute election pranks and make the accusers come forth in reasonable time or be ignored at the ballot box.

6:51 AM - You get the award for hitting the nail on the head and driving almost all the way through. Listing out Obama’s scandals would have been whip cream and cherries.
IRS Scandal
Fast and Furious
Benghazi
Gitmo
Nukes to Iran
Cash to Iran
Did the Republicans ever attempt to impeach the first Black President. No! That would have been racist; regardless of the crimes.
Mitch McConnell “took impeachment off the table”.
Our Infrastructure is collapsing nationwide and Democrats want to spend our money on a coup.
I hope people are paying attention.

6.51 you nailed it. its crazy that impeachment has become a political tool( I only feel what happens in the future) but the democrats feel its too close to chance beating him at the ballot box next year. Obama didn't call me wonder why

What proof exists to support the claim that Obama violated the law? The proof abounds about Trump.
