Jackson Jambalaya

He better have an answer for the State Fair Turkey Leg price fixing conspiracy. It will be front page NYT just like the Goon Squad.

From the press release, he appears to be a fighting christian….what’s with all the fighting?

He will win

Gipson will be a strong candidate. It will be very difficult for Delbert to make the runoff in such a crowded field of candidates half his age.

@7:17 Satan never put down his sword and never ceased his rebellion. Instead, he turned his attention to the corruption of G-D’s creations.

We must outfit ourselves in the armor of G-D each day and wage a constant battle against the evil forces of Satan.

Mississippi is a red state. Most of our country is red and lead by conservatives. Why so many scary buzzwords? Biden this, radical leftist that. Fight for the unborn as Ag commissioner? I’m disappointed and can’t support him since they didn’t find a way to work AOC, the Clinton’s, and Obama into that release.

I doubt he has a chance to win.

I like Andy Gipson. He's the best ag commish our state has ever had, and is always promoting the state in a positive light.

No surprise. Bigger question is, are there any republicans who are not running.

Honestly thought he absolutely loved being AG Commissioner, wearing his cowboy hat, riding his horse during Dixie National, figured he would be there for life. I think he’s doing a good job in his current position, not sure what type of Governor he would be, but can’t be worse than the current one.

Love him or hate him, what he’s does at the fairgrounds with safety and security is impressive. Sort of a goober but he does what he says.

With all of the republicans running for governor the lieutenant governor’s seat will be wide open. Run Kenny Stokes run!!

When Delbert fainted, everyone smelled blood in the water.

Republicans (conservatives) control the house, senate, and presidency and the majority of governors in this country. We don’t have to keep printing ads acting like we re the under dogs Trump won the popular vote we are the mainstream culture. It’s like Georgia Bulldog/alabama fans every year acting like they’re the underdogs no one expects them to win

Snowball chance in hell. He’ll be the first to suspend his campaign and throw support behind a real candidate

The white hat needs to stay right where he is. He is an embarrassment, as far as his hokey hat and demeanor, and now the singing. But I’ll say he’s done a good job keeping the fairgrounds clean. He does not need to be anywhere near legislation. He hates puppies and kitties and blocked animal cruelty laws in favor of Farm Bureau. No hat and no Shad!

Eggbert in a landslide.

7:49pm: The more candidates there are, the easier it is for Delbert to make the run-off.

What 9:47 said

Gibson is not a serious person. Get real Mississippi.

Finally a God fearing man I can stand behind. You’ve already got my vote. Excited.

I cannot imagine having to deal and listen to Dilbert for four years.

Cowboy Gibson for Gov?? Is today April 1st?? I guess he thinks he can hood wink all the “country” folks into voting for him. Gibson for Gov….my A$$. Lol!!

Go to any political event and Gipson is the most popular. He may be hokey-but he was #1 in his class undergraduate and law school. He lacks the drama of Shad, he defeats the do-nothing Lynn. He will kill the Mormon billionaire at the polls. Delbert won’t survive the summer heat at Neshoba. There’s no real dirt on the guy. It’s the goofy hat’s race to lose

You’d think someone as smart as Gibson is purported to be would drop the goober act.

7:50
I don’t remember Gods armor including a 15 gallon hat.

Big hat, no cattle.

6:41 am Mormon? He's a Baptist minister. Aside from the Mormons heavily being Republican, there aren't but a bit over 22 thousand in MS but I expect they will vote for him. And , yes, he did spend lots of tax dollars for very little return on the dollar. How much do you think digging a well costs ? And it didn't take that long to get the water back to EPA standards. Besides, not all well water is safe or as fit to drink. You really need to learn about where water comes from and how it gets to us.

Could you imagine this man at the helm of our state? He would probably be taken (somewhat more) seriously if he dropped the Roy Rodgers act.

Trent Lott was a singing senator ….?

Great, a segregationist candidate with the mindset of the 1950’s. Just what we need with these billion dollar companies coming to Canton.

Gipson is a Baptist minister. Thomas Duff is a LDS (Mormon) billionaire. Many of the talking heads think Thomas Duff intends to qualify-he formed a PAC earlier this year. The point is the people of Mississippi will choose a goober like Gibson over a billionaire Mormon. Gipson is popular with the MAGA crowd-Mississippi Republicans

A bunch of red meat, culture war buzz words for the clods to gorge themselves on. The hokey stuff is an act, but people constantly fall for it, and he's smart enough to understand that they will. lol Another funny thing is when he had a chance to "fight" against 'oppressive' federal mandates (Mississippi Medical Cannabis Bill) he did that BS press conference where he had his oath in a picture frame and backed down like the joke that he is. I had quite the laugh about that, considering instead of being a leader and allowing some of the responsibility of the program to fall under the AG, he tucked his tail and avoided responsibility... The sort of thing a ton of "leaders" do in that state.

7:32
Duff is the Mormon

Don’t count out P. Gunn , if you have ever heard him speak , he’s got the chops . He doesn’t embarrass us .

Andy Gipson is smart and I like him a lot. This seems like a bad time for him to run, though. Primary election results:
Delbert 32%
Lynn 24%
Shad 22%
Gipson 21%

Runoff:
Delbert 54%
Lynn 46%

Being a segregationist - you mean like Lumumba?

@8:33AM: Philip Gunn is a great guy, but he has little statewide name ID and he runs in the same Baptist inner circles as Andy, so they would split a lot of the same votes across rural/suburban lines.

Gunn has been in the Capitol Bubble too long. He has little name ID outside of the Jackson metro area. Fundraising will be harder since he is no longer Speaker.

Hosemann won't make the runoff.

He is not the most popular, people are there to watch a train wreck. His schtick is embarrassing. He is the stereotype that people love to cast on our state. Pick him and let's go back 1975!

I predict a R will not win the next gubernatorial election. The landscape you see today is changing dramatically ….over the next few months this place will be opposite world.

I predict you are wrong.

Gibson is doing a great job as AG Commissioner, and that's where he needs to stay. I personally think that Philip Gunn is the darkhorse that people aren't talking about. He's very conservative, but forward thinking enough to change the state flag and give significant raises to teachers.

And Shad for Lt. Gov.

After Citizens United running for office is an easy way to make a lot of money with little oversight. Some people do it as a full time job. Imagine hitting the campaign trail and convincing people that those radical leftist America hating, Pelosi, and Schumer loving liberals are coming for your guns, aborting babies and trying to make us all gay. Alternatively imagine telling constituents that those evil mean racist republicans are going to legislate us back into the 50s, they hate women and minorities, and want to give your hard earned money to millionaires and billionaires. People gladly give their money to that rhetoric. They know how afraid and easy to manipulate we are and it pays. Look at Andy’s release. A bunch of right winged buzzwords.

Look here, people, a genuine expert on where water comes from. Tell us, oh great expert, does it come from the ground, or the air?

I like Andy. But then again, I grew up on a diet of 1990’s Pentecostal tongue-speaking religious indoctrination, zealotry and of course, The Gospel Bill Show

Gipson should sit tight as Ag Commissioner, and then ride off into the sunset. Gunn has the appeal of a hemorrhoid. Delbert should retire. Lynn is nothing but an empty pantsuit. Shad should go for Lt. Governor or just sit tight for another term. Duff is the only one that has actually accomplished anything. All the rest are just parasites.

Why are people so obsessed with Duff? Because he's a businessman like Trump?? He's also a Mormon. He will never win in Mississippi.

"I like Andy. But then again, I grew up on a diet of 1990’s Pentecostal tongue-speaking religious indoctrination, zealotry and of course, The Gospel Bill Show"

I have a vision of Gipson on his horse wearing that goofy hat, and holding up a rattlesnake in each hand.

And if he can get enough preachers onboard who tell their congregations how to vote, he may have a chance. He's not that stupid, but he's sure that we are.

What a huge step backwards he represents.

@12:31,
10:58 here. There was no snake handling. However, there was a lot of food, guns, and ammo hoarding. And a strong belief that Bill Clinton and Janet Reno were going to burn down ALL evangelical churches, like what they did to the Mt. Carmel Church in Waco, TX.
We didn’t watch TV, but we had Alex Jones, William Cooper, and Hal Turner on Shortwave.

Delbert killing the local projects bill at the end of the session this year doomed him. His name is mud with every city and county official in the state. Hat isn't strong enough statewide to win that race. He's wasting his money. I hear Phillip Gunn is jumping in. He will be strong. Duff will also be strong. Sure won't lack for money. Not sure his Morman faith will harm him

Duff is the next gov

at least he does something. shad makes finds but the AG doesn’t prosecute. either he or shad would make a fine governor.

If you liked Gov. Feel you will love this redneck. Don't be comparing my hero Roy Rogers with this phony. As long as he stays Agriculture Commissioner, we can tolerate the BS, but on the national stage he will be an embarrassment.

I don’t know how well the cowboy shtick will play on the Coast. And you have to run well on the Coast to win. Tate kills it on the Coast.

Them punkins don't plnt and pick theyselfs.

Andy got it goin on!

Heard him speak at a ribbon cutting. He went on and on. Too many “can I get an amen” and the grunting preacher cadence got old quick. Probably a good guy though. A little information about the actual project would have been nice. Guy behind said he thought he was supposed to go down front and confess. I was waiting for em to pass the offering plate myself. He’ll be an embarrassment to the state on national media for sure. But these few that run the GOP in this state will decide for us like they always do. Any state that can’t upgrade from Hyde-Smith isn’t really free.

who's going to change their diapers?

Well, the repubs might as well run Bumpkin-Andy. After all, the dems ran their own Bumpkin-In-Overhauls for the job Andy got.

And a big hat (with no cattle) ain't such a stretch. We done elected a cowboy-booted lawman with a antique truck.

Watch who the Republican Women’s Associations get behind. That will tell you who is most likely to win the primary.

Those claiming Gibson has no statewide appeal are obviously fans of the Gump Brothers...I mean Duff brothers. Outside of Richland and Hattiesburg, who the hell ever heard of either of them?

Duff doesn't have the chance of a snowball in an unrefrigerated trailer of being elected governor. (see what I did there?)

Anyone/Everyone dreaming of Shad White being Governor needs to wake up - he will not be supported by the Mississippi Republican political machine that requires you play ball and stay silent about their corruption.

And, there will be a day in decades to come where Mississippi will be ruled by a Democratic political machine due to changing demographics (i.e., take a look at the mayoral/city council election in Horn Lake that got obliterated by democratic candidates a few weeks ago). The DeSoto County Republican Party got slapped down hard, and they're still gob smacked about how this will in fact eventually happen to the whole of DeSoto County. There's nothing they can do to stop it, including the whole of Mississippi in time.

My generation is allowing people who can't use self checkout to govern. If you can't honestly say you will be alive in the next 4-5 years be a patriot and sit this out from here on out
