Now that is good news. Posey sucks.

Charles lost his own county by 15,000+ votes. I guess he is banking on the Madison and Rankin County turnout. Posey is very strong in South MS, especially since he switched parties to the GOP. Should be an interesting primary to watch.

So what? Hinds isn't some bastion of GOP strength. It don't matter what happens in Hinds as long as you win Rankin+Madison.

Hmm, I wonder why Charles Barbour lost his own county by 15,000+ votes...shocking if you look at the demographics of Hinds County. And Posey's district doesn't go into South Mississippi. Nice try, though. Plus, beating any Barbour in the Republican primary, particularly one who has been so active in the party since the early '80s, will be a steep row to hoe for a recent party switch.

Posey will kick the stuffing out of him. Won't even be close. If I was advising him, I'd say stay out of it.

In a Republican primary? You're dreaming Fish.

You want to put your electoral prognosticating record up against mine? Go ahead buddy, go ahead.

When Grand Gulf was built, Mississippians footed the entire bill and were promised, when the plant was paid off,that Mississippi customers would see a major drop in their bills. Operating costs and profits would be covered by the sell of excess electricity.
They counted on the voters forgetting that agreement. I didn't but I guess most did.
I'll continue voting against the incumbent until I get someone who is consumer oriented which is what an oversight commissioner is supposed to be.

Regardless of who is best for the job, Charles Barbour will win the GOP primary.

Is the FBI still looking at his wife. She's disappeared off the radar screen. She used to be involved in the Republican party, but when the Feds showed up, she disappeared! Haley didn't get involved woth this race four years ago - what makes you think he will this time?

Haley, got involved in the primary when he beat Jimmy Foster

12:09 - don't believe you are correct. And I don't think HRB will be involved this time either. Charles Barbour won't carry the leadership of the Republican Party; he is one Barbour that most don't care about. Posey received the endorsement of those same leaders (including HRB) only a few weeks ago. He is the incumbent Republican PSC, and most Republicans will support him for reelection. Charles Barbour made a fool of himself last time with his "not 1 time" commercial. Maybe he will resurrect that one for our viewing pleasure this time!

Posey had a very conservative voting record in the MS Senate prior to his election to the PSC, despite coming from a district that no Repub could possibly be elected. Voters in the Republican primary will be reminded of that this time, and just because Charles' last name is Barbour, they won't flock to his nest.

And he won't have his wife's money to run on this time - too much has been spent on legal bills.

Posey by 7.

Believe me, there are more than a few Republicans burned up about this one. They worked hard to get Posey to switch parties and then suddenly the former supervisor jumps in and ensures he has a real primary fight. From what I understand, Haley wasn't crazy about his candidacy last time and its hard to see that changing. Think about it. The Governor is looking at running for President or VP and now thanks to his nephew, that stuff involving the FBI investigation will pop back up. I can assure you Haley wants NO mention of that while he is looking at bigger and better things.

HRB made no endorsement for the GOP primary. Good try.

Kingfish said...

I did not say a word about Haley endorsing anyone, jackwagon. try again.

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.

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.
