Jackson Jambalaya

Let's see

#1 - he gets appointed to Thad's seat
#2 - he's going to run McKlaniels campaign directly
#3 - he's about to go down for some crooked stuff

Inquiring minds would love to know?

Lucien Smith next Chairman?

Maybe Thad is will now resign his seat and take over for Little Joe....since he is in such good health and done so much for the party (according to the Koolaid Makers).

Hello Senator Nosef

8:19 --- I was thinking the same think in this ludicrous world we're living in with the MS GOP. Last ditch effort to maintain control -- put in a young "party guy" who will tow the line until the old hacks are dead. Course.......he could be resigning to shore up Wicker who is in trouble. Become his campaign manager. If they lose Wicker's seat, then the Cochran seat will go too! Bizarre how tone deaf they've been all these years and are clueless how they got here. "Let them eat cake" mentality. GOP Royalty -- safely ensconced and we peasants need to understand their intellectual superiority and defer to it.

Bunch of absolutely crazy, uninformed idiots on JJ tonight, showing their ignorance. Just as stupid as the CL suggesting that Jim Herring could be next chairman. ONLY person that thinks Herring would be a good choice is Herring.

Gov has recommended Lucien Smith, which is a popular choice with the committee. Congratulations, future Chairman Smith.

is Andy Taggart next in line for the job?

Derrick Johnson may be available and he knows how to control the voter turnout. Good strategy for the Ruling Class of RINO Elites.

I hope not.

It’s McDaniel....Wicker demanded it.....saves his ass

GOP hopes someone can beat him next time

Risky

Hugh Freeze.

Naw, seriously, what they'll do is ask Mississippi Republicans to submit their choices via phone, mail, email or the web. Then, the upper echelon will undertake a carefully-considered review of the top choices of the rank-and-file party members. Then, and ONLY then, will they select a new chairman.

On second thought, seriously, Hugh Freeze.

Who the hell ever heard of Lucien Smith? Well, other than the Tico's Thursday Crowd...

Nosef for Senator? Not in this lifetime. He has been a grand failure. Let's send Steve Holland to Washington. Other than Eastland, when have we had such a rotund buffoon bringing attention to our state?

It cracks me up to read " ruling class elites" every time I read it, I know someone has been " had".
Who do you think they are?
You hated Obama who was hardly a ruling class elite and love Trump who is. You probably think Bannon is a good ole boy. You must think the Kochs are good ole boys too since you love the candidates they buy.
ROFL.

"Nosef for Senator? Not in this lifetime. He has been a grand failure."

How so? He's help usher in a top down Republican stronghold in the state - if anything he's been helping his party win elections and convert Democrats that have won elections into Republicans across the state. I don't see that as a sign of failure, hell, that's being darn effective.

But once again - the party claimed that if they had the power - things would improve in this state. The tangible issues have not improved under their watch. That is not Nosef's fault. But the people he help to get elected to office.

NEVER TATER

There is a ruling class here in Mississippi but they are anything but elite.

I vote for Buster Bailey---he would fit right in with all the graft and corruption that goes on in politics.

"BAILEY FOR SENATOR" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two things.

1. There's no picture of Joe Hussein Nosef so is he the guy who wears a muskrat on his head?

2. I want Hugh Freeze and Chip Pickering to run for Gov and Lt. Gov representing the fidelity wing of the Ms. GOP.

So what is the job of Chairman of the GOP? The person represents the party and raises money. You need someone who will return calls, is likable and friendly. We just had a chairman in Nosef who was aloof and rarely returned a phone call. Now the Guv wants to appoint someone who has the personality of a stump. He is not sociable, likable nor is he engaging. We need someone who will attract voters and doners. Someone who relates and understands people, for politics is exactly that. He Lucien is a disaster.

1:23 -- I beg to differ -- Joe did talk on his phone and he did return phone calls. As he took his dog for a walk down the street and allowed it to crap in my yard, while I was watching and he had eye contact with me, and then he continued on.....important people cannot take the time for normal niceties. The phone repeatedly distracted him while he was attending to this type of duty and the importance of his position.

You understand don't you?? I did while I was cleaning up after he and his "pet".

I vote for Andy Taggart

6:16 sez..."...if anything he's been helping his party win elections and convert Democrats that have won elections into Republicans across the state."

That sounds like a bullshit bullet point on a thousand resumes I've seen claiming, "I was instrumental as a team member in bringing incremental and systemic viability to our restructured corporate team". It's utterly meaningless.

Oh....it's also bullshit. But I already pointed that out.

Tagged supported Kasich for President. Kasich is an extremely liberal Republican

Republicans have implemented their agenda for some time.........Ask yourself one question, are you better off?

The chairman of the party is named by the Gov. Yes, there is some sort of "process" but in the end it is his and his alone....

#1 - he gets appointed to Thad's seat
#2 - he's going to run McKlaniels campaign directly
#3 - he's about to go down for some crooked stuff

Inquiring minds would love to know?

#4 - He's an unknown nobody, sorta like Pete Perry. The role has zero authority and even less notoriety. Nothing more than a two year card to get inside Tico's.

You are mistaken @7:10. As the defender of the MSGOP RINO status quo Pete Perry is very well known to black Democrats.

Andy Taggart makes Elmer Gantry look like "Ned In The Primer".

For those of you that don't know who Elmer Gantry is---he was like Jimmy Swaggert on steroids !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure I spelled every thing right---I'm a product of JPS.

Ole Joe fell flat on his face down around Biloxi a few years ago.He attempted an ill-fated desperate last ditch effort to get his man in the mayor's office by sending out an "Official" party letter to all advising them who he was backing and for all good party members to fall in line behind him.THIS WAS THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY!!!! He then arranged a last minute Phil Bryant endorsement even after the governor stated he was not going to get involved. Lost that one in a landslide. That was the last year I sent any money to that political organization.

Some smart money, informed political types speculate as follows (G-rated version): Bryant unceremoniously kicked Nosef to curb. Long time coming. Heavy-handed conduct, ego, addled behavior, and digital footprint an embarrassment to party. Risk of public relations disaster too high. Would never voluntarily step down. Sense of self tied to volunteer "chairman" position and self-promotion of speeches to captive 80 year-old ladies on the Tippah County rubber chicken circuit. Radioactive on the political/government relations front. Persona non grata with party bigwigs. Bryant won't go to bat. Movers/shakers, Reeves team, etc. want no association.

The people on this thread are woefully in need of thinking caps. What's usually the case when a public figure resigns with no notice to spend more time with his family? Nosef might be a party guy, but you're thinking of the wrong kind of party.

I have NEVER read such UNINFORMED, IDIOTIC, WANNA-BE KNOW-IT-ALL, BULLSH*T in my entire life. May not have always 100% agreed with him, but Joe was a good and hard-working chairman. He is leaving to get away from CRAZY. Team McDaniel wants to come ripping through like they own the place. No way he should have to endure that again. I wish him well.

The average man/woman on the street (and in the booth) never heard of Nosef, never will again hear of him, doesn't read this blog and doesn't know he held or left the post or that the post exists. The only importance here is that which is attached to this news by paunch-bellied, cigar-smoking, whiskey-swilling baldies who assume themselves relevant. So, there's that.

Unless you're a regular at Ticos or among the Republican elite (all forty of you) can you name the last three people who held this position? How about the last TWO? Wait, back up! First, can you even name the POSITION from which Nosef is resigning?
