Update: Last few precincts not turned in are from NE Jackson. Apparently Marilyn Avery is holding back a little. Sounds like New Orleans.
Update: Good vote total updates in the comments.
Did Frank finally have the big one? Will Frank win the race in Earl K. Long style? Can Crisler make the runoff despite having no base? How will the low turnout affect the results? Can I cover this without a drink? Can the Lamumba boyz help the Professor beat the Drunk? Is the Drunk finally punch-drunk or is there a surprise upset waiting to happen? Did Crisler learn how to plant votes or is he the Great White Hype? Or is there a magic bullet that will win him the race? It should be fun tonight.
Fire away.
Update: Barbie brought it tonight. She's definitely hot.

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.

Trollfest '07
Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

Kenny Stokes coasting to victory with 79%.
Ward 6 shaping up Lewis-Yarber runoff.
Crisler very week in black majority precincts often polling 4th behind Horhn.
Horhn is killing his chances.
Marilyn Avery taking her damn time ... again.
Crisler coming on from white vote. Bad omen for general.

talked to Othor around 4. Told him about NE Jackson turnout being way down. He said yeah, but in Black Jackson it was down even more from what he was being told.
Do you even know the precinct numbers in Ward 1 Ladd?
You are wrong KF. Ladd says it will be heavier than 2005.
More Eastover haters of Harvey Johnson back Crisler. 69% of P33 wants Marshand to take a bullet for them too.
Crisler 4th in P80, 3rd in P81. Do some research for a change Ladd. That will hurt him in general.

Gonna be Harvey Johnson and Crisler in runoff!
Damn. They are practically even.
JFP rooting around their office for a textbook on basic statistics.
Less than 25,000 votes? Damn.
Who cares. We got enough drama and interesting stuff going on tonight without worrying about 'em.
Ladd must be planning to apply one of her bullshit multipliers to the results.

What is going on in Ridgeland Mayor's race?
Crisler polls only 37% in P36. Ward 1 precinct with large black voter population.
When you leave the precincts with white majorities Crisler's results plumment. Gotta love the WPS.

P45 drinks the GOP koolaid. Goes Crisler with 62%.
I know of one vote for RJ in that precinct.
Another Ward 1 precinct with large number of black voters, P79, only goes Crisler 36%.
Its gonna be a RECORD TURNOUT. Just not this election.
What about Ridgeland?
JFP writes that Weill "maybe" won't have a runoff. YOU.CAN'T.MAKE.THIS.STUFF.UP.
Forrest Gump says, "I got shot in the buttocks." He should have ran for Mayor too.
Republicans bypass qualifications, vote en masse for Crisler.
Zata got one thing right. White Republicans love Crisler.
Screen shot it. didn't see it.
I didn't bash Chism much for a reason. I was going to rip his surveys as I saw a similar problem happen in a San Francisco supervisor's race with the same complaints.
What happened is that his survey was actually closer to the results than the more respected polls were. THe polls called it out as an upset of the incumbent. Chism's survey was the complete opposite of those polls and correctly predicted Daly's win.

I get it. Unscientific garbage surveys work if they get the results right.
Fox 40's coverage is HORRIBLE.
Maybe Chism should have predicted the turnout.
no, just found it interesting.

Crisler support very soft in Ward 6. Loses at least 2 precincts on his home turf.

Damn, look at that heavy turnout. Who is Ladd going to blame this year?
Probably less than 2000 votes out there. Crisler Johnson.
Maybe Lange will resurrect his crime blog so he can mislead the public about Harvey Johnson's crime record like in the lead up to 2005.

More than that, I think. Marilyn is playing her games. Still has 46, 82 & 83 out.
Do you think we can get SafeCity to misrepresent Harvey's record some?
Ya think?
Remember what Lange always used to say when he was distorting Harvey Johnson's record, you can't hide the bodies. Of course, Lange was deaf and dumb while McMillin was racking up a Top 5 All-Time record for murder.

Will Ladd blame the Clarion-Ledger for this turnout? LMAO
Shazam. Suddenly Crisler takes the lead.
Actually Lange DID call the turnout, he said around 30,000 and that is about right.
Who said he didn't?

Well KF, some folks want to put the waiter in charge of the restaurant.
I know.
but don't worry, when Crisler is Mayor when these interest rates swaps hit the fan, it will be rather interesting to watch. But hey, the people will have voted for it so they can't complain.
Ladd misses turnout prediction by country mile.
Maybe for the runoff Crisler can put some pics of his dented bullet proof vest into his campaign mailers.
I'll give anyone 100:1 odds, minimum $10,000 bet, that Tony Geiger will endorse Crisler for the runoff.
Won't matter. Harvey takes the runoff.

JFP calls the runoff an hour after it gets called here at JJ.
Lange and SafeCity prepare misinformation campaign to complain about color of Harvey Johnson's socks.

Yup.
Of course, they are real journalists so we don't count over here.
Having said that, I will say I'll take you bunch of groundhogs over any other internet crew in this down any day of the week.
3 precincts to go, turnout down -31% versus 2005 primary. Way to go JFP!!!
Do we get a T-Shirt for being a groundhog?

I'll have to think of something. Y'all ARE a tough crowd, after all.
Now that back row we had in Dr. Ford's history class at MC, that was a tough crowd. We gave that poor professor no mercy. We were worse than those guys in the Opera Box on the Muppet Show.
There goes Lange's lowering below 30k.
He wasn't too far off. Was pretty close.
Chokwe Lumumba gets the most Democrat primary votes of any Council candidate, any seat, other than Stokes. Chokwe and Kenny are going to light the place up. PEG ratings about to go way, way up.
Horseshoes and hand grenades.
Bluntson and Tillman both make runoff. If they win runoff+general going to be hard to beat the 4 votes of Stokes-Lumumba-Bluntson-Tillman. Who wants to bet that group makes Stokes Council Pres?
OMG what a thought. Can we get it on HBO or Showtime? It will make Jerry Springer look like Capn' Kangaroo.
What will Ladd's preztel logic reveal about the turnout?
@10:21 PM. If that scenario plays out the best bidness to own in Jacktown will be rental moving trucks.
I'd love to be on the City Council. I could actually have some fun.
Funny. That's what the Four Whoresman are saying too.
Melton is dead.
Does the Melton news help or hurt Bluntson and Tillman in runoffs? I think helps.
Jimmy Foster is HISTORY. Rogers win primary outright. Ladd can't begin to fathom how that is gonna hurt. Hmmm.
What happened there in Pearl? Seriously.
Sorry. See only 50% reporting in Pearl. My bad. BUT, if Foster does fall that is going to shake some stuff up pretty damn serious. Think real hard Ladd.
What do you mean? seriously.
Can't post it here. BUT it will seriously piss off the editor of the Bugle.
If, and when, it all comes down.
come on, help us out.
Everybody remember Gary Anderson? Won the battle by beating George Dale in the primary but lost the war. Same campaign manager as Crisler. Gonna be real, real hard to explain away why so many white Republicans are backing her candidate. Take away the white precincts and Crisler is kaput tonight. Not by a little, either.
[Ring, ring]

Hello, this is Stuart Irby. Oh, congrats Marshand. I've been expecting your call.
Do we need to not count the white precints?
Jimmy Foster is going down. Rogers expands lead to 59%.
Pearl Mayor
Foster (I) 1332
Kimery 223
Rogers 2312
I bet Jimmy Foster is wishing he had that vote on taxes as a do-over now.
Alot of hard feelings in Pearl, no doubt. But Foster still leaves the job with some big time accomplishments and a growing tax base. Hotel rooms under construction in Pearl, Ridgeland, Madison, Clinton and Flowood dwarfs Jackson.
Ledge changes Pearl results. Foster still out. Ladd scratches head.
Foster (I) 982
Kimery 105
Rogers 1937
Crisler’s support outside of GOP stronghold precincts paltry. 47% of Crisler’s votes came from white precincts in Wards 1 & 7. 37% of his votes came from Ward 1 ALONE. So tomorrow when Crisler tries to sell his showing as that of some diverse rainbow coalition representing all of Jackson you’ll know better.
Ok. I didn't jump in the thread last night because I was in no condition to do so, (was served booze hours before poll closing, so blue law's a myth btw) but, here's my election night thought: Not the heart attack. Not the turnout, runoffs etc. But, ..Barbie's hot..? seriously?
I like her and all. but, just had to bring that one up.
Former Mrs. Mississippi, with 3 kids, and she looks to have been seriously working on her weight - she looks good.
Honestly she prob looks better than I do right now. My gym card has dust on it. Maybe it was just the hair. Props, Barbie.
ahhhh.........MILF's.............
