Jackson Jambalaya

Desoto residents lived in Memphis where they were exposed to tyrannical rule for decades and they likely didn’t like Trump being such a fascist

This absolutely was a fluke election where the GOP had a shit candidate and the Left had a great candidate. Nothing more than that. Although, in Madison and Desoto counties you are starting to see the effects of the people who left Jackson and Memphis bringing the politics that got those cities in trouble with them.

In 12 years Desoto County goes from voting for Chris McDaniel to a democrat, at a time when democrats nationally have moved even further to the left. Also, there is no doubt that Colom will toe the line and vote with the party for the next six years.

I don’t know why it couldn’t be called tonight after all of today's are counted.

Watching a new Bennie entering the political world. Will be around for quite awhile.

CHS is still posting bible verses and smoking the rejecting the ballots opium tho.

Who knows?!

If everyone would have voted in Desoto county CHS would have won!

Spoke to a good friend last night about his vote. He said that when he filled out his ballot, he just didn't vote for either of them. A reliable conservative, he just wasn't going to vote for CHS. I think it's been reported that this might have been the case in Michael Guests vote count versus her vote count in his congressional district.

Was Cindy Hyde-Smith EVER wanted by the voters of Mississippi? Remember, Phil convinced THAD!'s people to run again even though THAD! couldn't even speak. During the election, THAD! made today's Mitch McConnell look like a Heisman candidate, but one from the SEC, not from SoCal. Phil wanted nothing to do with Chris McDaniel as a Senator. Phil then appointed Cindy, a Democrat until 2010, after THAD! resigned because of course he did.

The Republican Party in Mississippi is so middle-of--the road, it boggles a normal person's mind. The Rs are only marginally better than the Ds in Mississippi.

Keep counting until the one we want in office wins!

A couple of things: 1:09PM has it about right as far as this election and these candidates - CHS is CHS and Colom is a pretty strong candidate who I don't think will be all THAT bad for MS, assuming he wins. I wouldn't say it was a complete "fluke" because the overall anti-Trump sentiment hurt all or most GOP candidates to some degree, but had this been, for example, Roger Wicker v. Mike Espy (or an even lesser candidate), I suspect Wicker would have been celebrating last Tuesday about 7:15PM. Which brings up the second thing - for the election junkies, decisiondeskhq has more up-to-date election totals than the AP (which is where KF's post and most local outlets get their totals). Unless you are a serious or professional election watcher, no reason to sign up as the free info should be plenty enough for most folks, including county results. For the record, I have no ties of any kind to the site or the company and I'm not posting a link for that reason. They have Colom up a bit more than the AP as of today, but nothing way out-of-line with the AP results - 468,398 to 465,662.

Why did Trump hold his rally in Corinth and not Southaven? Was there a reason or just convenience/scheduling?

The voters are tired of spending money and blood for somebody else’s war(s). Coach Trump and Cheerleading High-Stepper just don’t get it.

Couldn’t have been done without Trump being the biggest disaster ever. Thanks Trump. Minnie Pearl being a useless candidate also helped, but it was mostly this administration’s complete and utter failure to do anything to help the working class besides make everything more expensive.

All YOU RINOs bitching about the war driving up the cost of gas. If Iran gets a nuke they will nuke Israel then Israel will nuke Iran. Then what do you think would happen to the price of gas? You would be LUCKY to buy gas at any price! You pay a little now or a LOT more latter!!!

A place the blame on weak RINOs crossing over because RINO hate Trump. Trump would be gone in two years. A liberal senator will be here for 6 years

Colom will win this by 6000 votes.

You rhino hunters are just noise now. You're pathetic looking behind every tree and bush for something that's not there. What will you do if you catch one? Have a quickie Salem witch style trial or a Cindy Hide-Smith type of punishment! The 1950's had a paranoid red scare. Evidently it's a paranoid blue scare paralyzing you all.
