Jackson Jambalaya

I swear, if the substance of that press conference ends up being "Gonna keep doing what I'm doing, please send money," SOMEBODY in the state or national GOP is going to have to grow a pair and do something about this wacko.

Ok Capital Resource drones punch your timecards....

Wake up people.

Fidel Idithun

I'm beginning to hope there is a " do-over".

McDaniel will lose votes and Mississippians will have a chance to show him how disgusted we are with his shenanigans!

If I had a nickel for every person who told me they were now sorry they voted for him, I'd have more money than he's been able to raise for his " legal" nightmare team!

Is the fat lady warming up?

They'll announce they are not going to do anything today but in 10 days they'll have a really big announcement!

"If you look at the Republican Party as an opposition party, none of what they're doing on makes any sense. But if you see the Republican leadership and the establishment and their donors as essentially on the same page as Obama, then maybe on your own you can start to figure this out and have it make sense." -Rush

Is anyone surprised that a trial lawyer is using his legal team to try to steal an election? Maybe McD will actually show up for this press conference. Or will he send the doublemint twins to tell us once again that something really big is coming soon?

I can't wait!

Will Melanie make a statement?

3:33 PM "k Capital Resource drones punch your timecards"

You have mentioned Capital Resources more times on this blog that I am beginning to think that you're on their payroll.

I am not the same person who posted about your frequent references to the group yesterday, but like that guy, I had no idea who or what Capital Resources was until you began accusing everyone of being on their payroll and I googled it. Give it a rest.

It's okay Chris, you don't have to hold a press conference to announce to everyone that you are a big douche bag and that you lost the runoff. We were all apprised of that development weeks ago.

3:33
Yes, you got it right: Tyner and Watson, "The Nightmare Team".

"Fellow Conservatives..... after careful consideration, counsel with family and friends, meeting with my legal counsel, the NRA, Mossy Oak, Pall Mall Cigarettes, Busch Light, the Mississippi Independent Fundamental Baptist Counsel, and Sarah Palin.......... I have decided to concede the election that all 5,000 of my remaining followers have fought so hard to win."

Will Tyner appear along with the Cat, the Rat, and Watson their dog in Confederate reenactment costumes? That would make a special visual.

I hate to break the news to the Capital Resources conspiracy theorist, but I had misgivings about Barbour from the beginning.

He would have had to be saintly to be lobbyist for pay and not have become morally questionable.

What lobbyist doesn't put his client's interest before that of our Nation?

Nevertheless, as a Republican, I voted for him.

His pardons confirmed my worst fears.

I'm not naïve nor do I benefit from anyone's political machinations.


I could not, however, vote for anyone who lies as easily or who so boldly attempts to manipulate the naïve and mentally impaired the way McDaniel has.

It takes a lot to make Barbour look good, but McDaniel and his followers have .

Greed and self-interest is hardly admirable but it's understandable.
Insanity is not.

A rational person cannot possibly understand the absolutely irrational claims made by McDaniel and his supporters.

Chris will not concede the race.
His pride WILL NOT let him but pride goes before the fall and he will continue to carry out his favorite campaign strategy. FIGHT!

I'll go ahead and announce the "major Development": He Lost!

Hoepfully his people will tape their mouths shut. Still makes me laugh.

It seems to me that someone that you people so easily dismiss as being a crackpot or whatever sure can make you wet your panties when he says he is going to hold a press conference.

What is it that makes you so afraid of Chris McDaniel? Maybe that he just might uncover the truth?

The truth is that Mickey d is a trial lawyer that served on the election committee of state senate and apparently does not know the election laws in the state of Mississippi
HOW SAD

Before they step out there again, Tyner and Watson need to understand: Jackson is no place for a medicine show. Won't work here.

Nobody's scared at this point, it's just amusing to see this continue. If he had anything, he wouldn't be trying to disqualify Cochran as a candidate with some ridiculous rule. He's getting desperate and trying to keep the ball in the air however he can.

I'm just noting the ones still involved on that side and making a note to remember they're absolutely nuts. It's good to know who's who. Tyner is absolutely shocking. My opinion of him as a professional has done a complete 180; I just assumed he was good because of the name. After reading his work and seeing his involvement- I have no faith in his competence.

Please send mo' money to keep this hilariously futile delusion alive. The comedic relief is excellent therapy.

I love that the press conference states: RepublicanChris McDaniel" so we know the "big development" is just the Rule 11 nonsense. The fact that Chris has refocused his hopeless effort on Rule 11 is a clear indication that he didn't find the "illegal votes" that the last press conference promised he would deliver with 10 days.

Chris it is August. Traditionally, in the great State of Mississippi, if you don't make the stage at Neshoba County fair, you aren't going to make the big show. Go back to JV politics.

7:50 pm
In the course of human history, some crazy crackpots have risen to power and wreaked havoc because too many people dismissed them as being too obviously crazy or psychotic to be taken seriously.

Those who did forgot there were too many people like you who could be duped.

Will Chris McDaniel actually show up to his press conference this time?

7:50
I'm just thankful we all got to see what McD is about before it was too late. One does think of the rise of Hitler and how so many were fooled. All McD wants to do is fight and destroy.

To 7:50 pm
Good post!! Don't you find it incredible that all of these posters aren't bothered by indecent acts with farm animals but go into a full blown tizzy over a press conference ?

9:20 - I am not quite sure that comparing McDaniel to Hitler is an apples-to-apples kind of deal.

10:36
Like this: He wants to disenfranchise the votes of what he claims were 40,000. "Liberal Democrats" ie Blacks, for
Voting June 24, this 50 years after Freedom Summer;
He blames every misfortune he has had on code words for his fellow black citizens he never would reach out to ;
He sent people to break in the Hinds County seat of government in the dead of night for God knows what, to start a fire?
And I think he kinda looks like the pictures I've seen at catswholooklikehitler.com

A lot of serious stuff going on in our world today--middle east, Russia, Ebola and then there is a nut from Ellisville.

Hopefully Chris will continue for a few more weeks always provides for a good laugh and a break from all the problems of the world.

I'm thinking Ackman and Herbal Life.

12:05 - Fair enough; I take it back. You're right, he is just like Hitler.

Comparing McDaniel to Hitler is an insult to Hitler! McDaniel is not nearly as intelligent as Hitler - just saying- - - - -

McDaniel can show just how serious he is if he gets his important endorsers like Sarah Palin and Andrew Breitbart to show up at his press conference. Anything less will disappoint.

I"m sick and tired of this and am going to settle it once and for all.

Hitler was better looking than McDaniel. He had better hair. He was a better dresser than McDaniel. He told funnier jokes. Hitler could paint an apartment in one afternoon- with two coats. Hitler was a better dancer than McDaniel. He could dance the pants off of McDaniel.

It isn't accurate to compare McDaniel yo hitler or any other historical figure, because McDaniel hasn't achieved anything worth noting. His only contribution to missidsippi politics will be relegated to a passing reference. In future, when someone is hesitant to concede an electio, someone will say "man, I hope he doesn't pull a McDaniel." Way to leave a footprint Chris.

Well it looks like they discontinued the website, too bad, but the one I recall Chris most looked like was a black and white tabby named Kitler.

Very very interesting story just hit Drudge. Apparently, there is a chance that Mississippi actually won the Civil War due to a clerical error on the paperwork at Appomattox. Chris McDaniel's law firm will decide sometime in the next 10 days if they are to take it to the circuit court for a ruling.

Mississippi is just too small a place to fight the establishment and win (the first time around).

If there were some irregularities and possible illegal negotiators at the surrender, then it is possible that the war was not concluded properly. IMHO there is a distinct chance that the South may yet be declared as the winner.

5:54, I'll go ahead and bite. You are not fooled by Haley Barbour, but can you be specific about where you think McDaniel has lied & manipulated? Judging what McDaniel does, by what a handful of his supporters do, is vastly unfair (especially if McDaniel also calls what they did reprehensible).

Judging McDaniel on his statements or his voting-record, and ditto for Cochran, is what matters, right? What are the absolutely-irrational-claims that you are talking about, exactly?

8:32
Irrational to speak of thousands of crossover votes when they were a handful.

Question: >>where you think McDaniel has lied & manipulated?

Uh, maybe by claiming there were thousands of illegal voters on day one.

Now, a month later, he has not even named one illegal voter.

He claimed there were serious crimes. So name a name of one person who voted illegally, please. That would get the ball rolling.

I'm hearing that the order has come down that any supporters attempting to flee ze bunker underneath the Tyner law firm following the presser vill be shot by ze guards.

Tyner spotted at Wal-Mart loading a pallet of Kool-Aid into his car. Who will drink first?

William Faulkner called. He wants Chris McDaniel to come back and be a fictional character again. The Brooding Bitter Loser is the State Bird of Mississippi.

Marshall Ramsey has even already drawn the sour face for the story.

Scott Simmons @ WLBT has tweeted
that McDaniel will file challenge
with Republican party.

Should have been WAPT.
I apologize Scott

"His only contribution to missidsippi politics will be relegated to a passing reference. In future, when someone is hesitant to concede an electio, someone will say "man, I hope he doesn't pull a McDaniel." Way to leave a footprint Chris. "

His name will become a common noun, like Kleenex, Xerox, Lewinsky ....

"McDaniel can show just how serious he is if he gets his important endorsers like Sarah Palin and Andrew Breitbart to show up at his press conference. Anything less will disappoint. "

Jeez - if he can get Andrew Breitbart to show up and speak at this presser I will take back everything I've said about him and believe those who think Chrissy is the Savior incarnate.


(for those clueless ones in his camp - Breitbart died at least two years ago).

Apparently Tyner needed time to conduct an examination of McDaniel's pocket book to make sure McDaniel could afford to cover Tyner's billable hours before dragging this out another month.

The state GOP org now has the transcript of tomorrow's announcement. Can confirm that there will be a challenge of the election filed with the Republican Party. Still gathering evidence for a possible legal challenge later this month depending on outcome of the party challenge.

Shouldn't this post be titled "how not to practice law part 4"

So Chrissy will drag all of us with him, like it or not, for a very tedious long time of it. The longer he drags us all on, the more resentment toward him and his diminishing band will build. Where will it all lead? Certainly not in a Senate seat for him. What is it going to be like when we are still hearing about him 3 months from now? Someone is going to scream.

Kingfish is not allowing posts from non-Barbourites. Classy.

response by 9:16_A >> "Uh, maybe by claiming there were thousands of illegal voters on day one."

Well, technically, as you know team McDaniel has been very careful to only speak of irregularities, even on day one aka 6/25 when they were talking about Hinds, which started at 1000 and went up to 1500 irregularities all told. Perry eventually admitted to 300-some, right? So the true number is in between. Irregularities is a different (broader) category of issues than the strictly ILLEGAL. We don't know the latter, smaller, figure.

But we do have some indications. For instance, TTV incident reports claim there was an absentee-envelope for a voter named Frank Illegible, but no matching absentee-ballot to go with it. That is an irregularity. Maybe the ballot was in the box, and the TTV volunteer missed it. Maybe the ballot was lost. Maybe the ballot was put in another box, like the one to hold affidavit ballots, or the one to hold spoiled ballots, or somesuch. Maybe there was illegal corruption that further investigation would turn up. We cannot know, from the mere fact ALONE that a volunteer found an envelope with no matching ballot, what happened... further digging is needed to see if it was just a goof by somebody, or if it was a clue to some illegal action.

As another example, of an irregularity that is highly suspicious but not in and of itself utterly damning, see the exhibit B that was posted at mcdaniel2014.com as part of their motion-to-reconsider about the pay-for-redaction law in mid-July. There is a list of names, people that voted in the dem-pollbook; three of them are marked down as having voted in the d-primary on 6/3 ... but then those very same three are *crossed* out so that they were marked as NOT having voted in the 6/3 d-primary. Meaning what, exactly? Well, if we are charitable, it could mean that the poll-worker made a goof on 6/3, then noticed their goof, and corrected it on 6/3. Or it could mean that somebody 'legalized' those voters to participate in the 6/24 r-runoff retroactively, by crossing out stuff on 6/24. (Even this could be proper... only digging deeper could rule it out though.)

response by 9:16_B >> "So name a name of one person who voted illegally, please." Since I do not have access to any of the pollbooks, I only know what you know. The challenge-lawsuit has not been filed; as I understand it, there will first be an MSGOP-challenge, and they have ten days to mull it over, before a court challenge is permissible by law.

But if you want the name of an "irregularity" who might in fact be illegal, look at the exhibit B that Tyner posted. One of the people in the list, from what I can gather via the internet, was a person who donated to republicans in the past, and works for a trustmark bank subsidiary (if that name does not ring alarm bells then google it with barbour cochran). The person was marked as having voted in the 6/3 d-prime, then crossed out, and then was marked as having voted in the 6/24 "d-runoff" (which presumably was supposed to be the r-runoff). Why was this person marked as voting in a non-existent d-runoff? If they really voted in the r-runoff, instead, then why was the part that marked them as voting in the d-primary on 6/3 crossed out, and who did the crossing-out? These are the questions that worry me; I'll be happy if they turn out to be actual clerical errors, or goofs by volunteer-reviewers, as opposed to evidence of illegal nasty stuff. But I'd like to see the investigation, not sweep such allegations under the rug.

There is no smoking gun here, in my anon-blog-comment, and quite frankly we won't see any count of all the illegal votes until team McDaniel files an actual legal-challenge-lawsuit. Even then, we won't have a proven&confirmed count, until team Cochran and the various county clerks & pollworkers have given statements, and the judge has ruled on a final number of illegal ballots, a final number of questionable ones, and so on.

McDaniel has not revealed "even one" name of an illegal crossover vote, because he does not want to try the challenge-lawsuit in the media aka court of public opinion, and because he does not actually want to make trouble for the people who did illegally double-vote; the adverts from Bishop Crudup (and others if memory serves) were encouraging "all registered voters" to come out on 6/24, without mentioning the illegality of voting on 6/24 if you had already voted on 6/3 in another party's primary, so it is an excellent bet that most of the illegal-double-voters did not know they were doing anything bad. That doesn't make their votes valid, of course, but it does make sense not to drag names through the mud, when just quietly invalidating the individual votes is all that is necessary, right? In any case, enough partial evidence has been posted, that if you look on the internet for it, you can find some names. I did it, and nothing stops you. But remember, the people named in docs uploaded to the internet are innocent until proven guilty, and prolly don't want their names dragged out here on kingfisher's JJ blog, eh? Hence, I name nobody here, just point you where you can find them immediately if you so desire. Or just wait, until the evidence-packet is public.

p.s. If you are just complaining, why hasn't McDaniel filed yet, all I can say is be patient. You've seen what a hassle it is to get full access to courthouse materials, in some of the counties, due to byzantine conflicting statutes, and paper-based stuff. Time will tell.

6:20 aka Zapped, you are incorrect, KF is fair to all ideologies here.

That said, if you are trying to post something, and it is not going through, maybe you are violating some forum-rule with your content? Kingfish has "a line" about posting links to offsite documents, that have already be uploaded to THIS blog, for instance. There are also some decency-related (aka slander-and-libel-avoiding) rules for content. You can email kingfisher to figure out the reason you are not getting through the moderation queue, or just look over what you are posting, per the pointers above.

As to the populace here, I will point out, the different blogsites tend to self-define. Most of the people posting at DHM are anti-tea and pro-Childers, because the blog-author is. Most of the people posting at yallPol are anti-McDaniel and pro-Cochran, because the blog-author(s) is/are. Kingfish, by contrast, is not significantly biased against McDaniel, or for Cochran; the tilt of the commentary here, is primarily due to the nasty streak that being "anonymous" brings out in some people, and the snowball effect (pro-Cochran commentary attracts more pro-Cochran readers over time... and nasty anti-McDaniel commentary drives away the pro-McDaniel readers). But neutral folks like John Pittman Hey comment here just fine, and so do pro-McDaniel folks. Don't blame the blog-owner, in this case.
