2,575 (Updated)

Has GOP lost Desoto County for good? 


Update (6:15): Colom's lead is now 2,633 votes. 

Scott Colom continues to hang to his razor-thin lead over Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith.  His current lead is 2,575 votes with 97.4% of the vote allegedly counted.  


Tomorrow is Veteran's Day so a final result will probably not be reported until Thursday.   Meanwhile, check out this data from Desoto County.  Did the Republicans lose one of their top strongholds in Mississippi?

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.

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!!!

Anonymous said...

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.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
