It seems there are going to be some actual races in Madison elections this year. The Queen faces challenges from the Bag Boy and the Brown Bag while four of the seven aldermen have opponents as well. The list is posted below.

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.
If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.

Is this the Matt Armstrong that rides his dads coat tails in the insurance business?
No real challenge to Mary.
Please tell me that Bowering has an opponent. The Madison County paper said he does. http://www.onlinemadison.com/Content/Default/Top-Story-Homepage/Article/Several-municipal-races-now-contested/-3/606/39309
It's time for the Mayor to get the brick truck ready to bury Bag Boy yet again. After his disastrous term as Supervisor I'm surprised he has the nerve to show his face in Madison, much less to run for Mayor
Is this the Matt Armstrong that was Trent Lott's son in law? If so, he's got a walk-in closet full of skeletons
Is Rudy trying to take control of Madison? If he does, God help us all.
What's the scoop on Jill Ford's 26 year old son running against Gene McGee? Does this young guy have a chance?
Why are we having another thread on the same subject?
Can anybody tell me the last time a Madison alder-person actually voted AGAINST something decreed as 'good' by Madison's mayor? It will be a real struggle to come up with that. Having asked that question, what's the use of a board of aldermen in Madison anyway?
1:40, he has no chance. Probably just trying to get his name out there for future political races. Experience will be good for him.
@1:40 - I'm a Ridgeland voter and I've never met the guy, but he's got my vote.
Not only Trent's coat tails but also those of Charles Porter who rides the coat tails of the Governor. Here we go again with Matty - I doubt Mary will have a sign left standing when the smoke clears. The kid does whatever he wants.
OHHH my my my !!! This is gonna be good!
Down with the Queen!
You gonna open a post for each city's election?
Anyone know if the Russians are involved in the Madison elections?
I'm a bit confused about Matt Armstrong. His resume indicates he's among the silk-stocking crowd, well connected politically (Scruggs, Lott, Barbour), has a resume chock full of important stuff yet owns a gym and a liquor store.
Where does he go to work every day? Primos breakfast crowd or behind the counter at the liquor store? And why would a man of such importance want to slum around in a mere mayoral position among plebes?
"What's the scoop with Jill Ford's son....?" Well, I reckon the 'scoop' is he decided to give it a go. What did you have in mind?
If you'll think back a year or so ago, his momma was barely defeated by a slickster-incumbent county supervisor. So, there's that...
1:12. Resume is FORMER son-in-law of Lott. That doesn't carry much of a coattail, thus little to the felon either. And he has no connection to Barbour. Don't know about his gym or liquor store, but if Rudy hired him because of the LSB theory he made a bad investment.
Voted against Mary for State Auditor. I like her as Mayor and dread the day that the multi-family developers win the Mayor's race.
6:40 - 1:12 hee. If you think Lott and Scruggs don't still carry weight in certain sectors of this state, you're lost in the weeds and need to upgrade your clubs. I didn't mention Rudy hiring him so I'm not sure what you are referring to.
John Bell is out. Why did he even bother qualifying only to drop out such a short time later?
Rudy told John Bell he didn't have room in his barn for any more campaign signs, that his barn was full of Howland signs and others. That was code for 'get lost John Bell'. John Bell can't piss on a fire hydrant without Rudy telling him which leg to raise. Fact.
10:43, I'm saying that Lott/Scruggs don't give much of a damn about the former son-in-law. Not a nice divorce; don't know why you think that their coattails are going to do much for him. EVEN against Mary.
And didn't make the statement about Rudy because of anything you said. There are, after all, other people that have commented here. Put your ego on the shelf for a minute and realize that its not all about you. Others here know that Rudy was shopping for a full slate in Madison - figure out the connection of the two statements.
But the main reason for the comment was your trying to tie coattails from MA to HRB - of which there are none.
