If you want to make such wild statements as your "voted more with Pelosi", bring on the facts to back it up. Otherwise, eat your words and let them come out the end where they are more appropriate. <br /><br />And no, I am not a Harper apologist. Don't think he did much of anything to 'shine' while in office, other than some initiatives that some might call self-serving that result from his family issues. But you and your "Freedom Caucus" being the end-all and be-all of the world need to move on out of the obstructionist way and realize that being against everything is not doing anything.

..."Pretty much a establishment yes man"?<br /><br />You're being too kind. Harper never took a stand on any critical legislation until the very last minute after Boehner, and then Ryan, told him how to vote. Harper voted more times with Pelosi and Obama than he voted with conservatives like the members of the House Freedom Caucus. Like Cochran, Harper's <i>only</i> focus was keeping the pork skids greased regardless of the woes he was heaping upon future generations.

I remember well watching the entire MSU BB team of 1996, and its run to the Final Four. And, I remembered (without the ad) the 6th man player on that team and the way he played. (Granted, remember Donte Jones, and Marcus, and Erick Dampier as well.) It was and remains the only appearance of a Mississippi team in the big dance. Don't think it qualifies him for Congress, but that's not how I saw the commercial. Instead I saw it as an insight into a white boy from Jackson who had the grit to make it on a southern basketball team with players who probably had more talent than he did but he had the fortitude to fight it out to play with the rest of them. <br /><br />If you want to measure the candidates by their backgrounds, please give me your insight as to the candidates. Oh, wait. You already did that with your terribly helpful insight into how to handicap this race. Sorry. I don't accept your backdoor manner of telling us that someone that couldn't pass the bar exam, not once but twice, and backed into being a prosecutor that has figured out how to finance county operations by stopping drug dealers on their way home and taking the cash would be a better qualification. Although I don't give much credence to his cash grabs, I do acknowledge his business ability by selling his insight into county operations and establish a debt collection company that harrasses poor folks for questionable debts. <br /><br />Me - i will prefer the basketball player.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-42468469650058593132018-04-22T18:22:31.299-05:002018-04-22T18:22:31.299-05:00I'm unimpressed with somebody's basketball...I'm unimpressed with somebody's basketball bench experience and could not be less impressed with somebody being a county prosecutor for several years.

As such, it's not that complicated to understand why Hughes would tout this in his campaign ad. I consider his accomplishments (as the proverbial sixth man who succeeded by grit more than raw talent) to be significant. That said, I believe Hughes is also running on his conservative principles. I'd say this is better than the typical "I'm going to be hard on crime" type of Mississippi politician that moves to Washington and gets stuck in the swamp.

You actually think your name being attached to the campaign is what determines the winner? Just because you set the deal up when Harper 'announced' his retirement, hired Harper's daughter for the campaign and promised her a job after election - many of the voters in the district don't really hold you in that high an esteem. The rest of your basises for figuring out who is ahead tell the rest of the story - all the 'positive' theories point to your candidate (at least in your mind) while you take cheap shots at your opponents ('same spouse twice'; 'had and affair').
