Some super smart capable candidates and then Lynn Fitch
Shad has never given me a syrup-filled biscuit at the state fair...
I am afraid Lynn Fitch and Phillip Gunn are suffering from delusions of grandeur. They need to find something more productive with their time than running for governor.
KF, you’d best get yourself a new set of knee pads.
He announced Phil was the whistleblower! Wasn't that sweet enough?
I am shocked I say, shocked. I didn't see the coming. Who knew? (Everyone).
Well, bless his little heart.
Free State of Jones!
Hopefully the rest of his campaign fliers won't be generated by AI.
Lynn Fitch is wasting her time and effort. Shad could make it interesting but probably a two-horse race between Gunn and Gibson.
Don't forget Delbert. I think it comes down to Delbert and Gunn. The hat and the auditor will split the aw shucks Trumper crowd. Nobody takes Lynn seriously.
So it's Phillip Gunn, Lynn, and the two segregationists Andy & Shadrick. Go Land Mass!
Well, I won't vote for the airhead AG and I've never been impressed with Gunn. I'll have to toss a coin to decide between the other two. Which one will be the least slavish to Trump? That's the one I'll vote for.
I would vote for shad
Cheap shot and not funny.
Andy Gipson is the man and I’d like for anyone to give me a serious argument against him other than you don’t like his hat or his singing. The guy is Mississippi to the dad-gum bone and actually wants to end all the crime in this state. I have personally talked with him and he acknowledges issues that Tater Tot and all the other soft GOP “leaders” won’t (brain drain).
The primaries will be ugly...mudslinging and food fighting. Hold my BEER!
Inky, Pinky, Blinky and Clyde
@3:30
ok you want an argument against him ill play
shad is a rhodes scholar
your turn jethro
the winner has not entered the race, yet. smartly so
Gunn - political grandstander; orchestrated the flag change disaster (no)
Fitch - clueless (no)
White - little brother (no)
Gipson - drilled a well at the state fair; created Genuine MS; led fairground upgrades (yes)
Shadrack thinks he owns the 'brain drain' topic due to his stupor duper task force white paper! (He's wrong.)
There were pictures of The Hat and other politicians at some event last night where The Hat was shooting a precision rifle off a bench with a bipod and rear bag and he was holding the stock of the rifle like he was shooting freehanded. If you're going to take a photo-op, at least look like you know what you're doing...
There has never been a less charismatic, relevant, exciting candidate than Philip Gunn. He will do nothing to conserve anything and he damn sure will bend the knee every time.
4:01 the hell are you talking about? That is literally a display/showcase of different rifles/scopes and in the picture he’s not doing anything “wrong”. Can you please not run your mouth when YOU don’t know what you’re talking about?
Too bad it's November 9. His buddy Jody Owens gets sentenced on November 4 and may not be able to go.
All of the Facebook rednecks are supporting Gipson (because of the flag), but we know the money is going to back Gunn. He's the only one with some sense.
It’s gonna come down to who the Haley Barbour Political Machine anoints, sadly.
Fitch has no business holding any public office.
Senor White seems better suited at his current job level.
I like Mr. Andy, but not sure about being governor.
Gunn has screwed up so much but has been out of the picture for awhile so people may forget….
Tommy Duff was supposed to announce
Meemaws out there falsifying their state government timecards will breathe a sigh of relief knowing Shad's about to be out of state government.
I guess it’s going to be Phillip Gunn. The racist Ag Commissioner, MAGA Auditor & Lady without profile AG would be disasters.
So you support the Baptist Preacher that doesn’t think women should be in church leadership positions & is a racist would help Mississippi.
Quick, we need a surgeon to sew The Hat to Shadrack, unifying heart and brain, to create the perfect Janusian Dyad governor.
Correct! The 'winner' because he is by far the best - and the one qualified- to be Governor, and because he will eventually be the winner.
Look for an announcement once we get through with these damn mid-terms and Thanksgiving.
I'll vote for Gunn if he promises to send all Canada Geese to a gas chamber.
As the post above says, the winner hasn't entered the race, yet.
There are those of us in Jones County who know Shad is fake and has spent the last decade trying to recreate himself. He’s been a campaign manager, a 4th or 5th chair associate attorney with little to no actual real legal expertise. He was handed the auditors gig and we now know why as he’s clearly taken steps to shield Phil Bryant from any accountability. His military service, while admirable, is clearly intended to help his political career. He doesn’t have the temperament or maturity to lead this state…..see his childish diatribe with John Polk a couple of years ago. He’s a no go for me.
So was Slick Willy Clinton.
Just out of curiosity, what is that map in the background? It's certainly not Jones County, and it's certainly not Mississippi.
It's probably bad form to have a state map in your announcement for Governor that isn't the state you're running for.
6:01 I simply can’t believe I’m agreeing with Krusatyr. I just had this same thought after a walk. Those birds are somehow federally protected and all they do is eat, poop, and get aggressive for no reason. It’s a perfect metaphor for the culture.
Mr. Duff has very capable advisors, the wait is for a reason.
For the sake of Mississippi I hope 3:41 is correct.
Behind Shadrack is the NorthEast quarter of the State of MS.
Andy, Shad, and Lynn are all embarrassing. I will support Tommy Duff if he runs. If he does not run probably Gunn.
Don’t forget fired state trooper Ivana Williams. She has a small following on Facebook and thinks she can parlay that into a statewide campaign 😂😂😂😂
It will be awfully hard for a Mormon (Tommy Duff) to be elected governor in the Bible Belt.
Of the four, who has excelled at their current position?
Yep, and that is why I will vote for Shad White.
Cute, but wrong Gunn. :)
Andy Gipson may come across as a country bumpkin to some, but he has some very impressive credentials.
I've never heard Andy say anything remotely racist.
Gunn wants to dictate and thinks it's his turn.
Shad thinks the governor audits waste.
Fitch wants to decorate and thinks it's her turn.
Delbert hates to go home and thinks it's his turn.
Duff is weird, like his brother Romney. IYKYK
The democrat socialists have no candidate.
Whoever doesn’t proclaim to be a trump republican…
This is one time I'm all in for Gunn control. Please, somebody, anybody, take my Gunn away.
John Polk did get crossways with Shad. And he's dead now. So watch out.
"Just out of curiosity, what is that map in the background? It's certainly not Jones County, and it's certainly not Mississippi."
Oh, great. Now folks are going be pedantic about maps. Oh, sure, it may have a few unexplained and unexplainable rough edges, but dammit it's our land mass, kinda-sorta-about-like-if-you-squint. Shad is so civic-minded he wants to govern folks in Alabama, too, and expecting him to know who is who or where is where is just expecting too much from too little (pardon the pun)!
Besides, if federal judges and highfalutin' law firms are artificially intelligent, why isn't it good enough for our next guv?
Went to Harvard, never get my vote. Go Hat
So far, Gunn is getting my vote.
People underestimated Gunn when he ran for the house, but he defeated a Barbour. He is the most genuine and best person in the race.
They are all crooks.
Shadster threw his hat in the ring as soon as the was elected as auditor. Has been campaigning 24-7 since.
If elected Governor, will Shad have time to video his push-ups and pull-ups for us?
Is Bryant Songy Snell running Shad’s campaign?
Still waiting to hear if Duff enters the fray.
It'll be difficult, but not as difficult as you may think.

Yeah we know the NAACP Jr. are all crooks. Look at their ex-mayor and ex-part time district attorney.
Andy isn't against women holding positions in the church, just the pulpit. But that's also what the Bible says. It ain't Andy.
He's the only one roundly disliked in both houses.
"ok you want an argument against him ill play. Shad is a rhodes scholar. your turn jethro". I'm not Jetro, but I'd like a turn.
We have a former governor who was also a former State Auditor who had a B.A. from Ole Miss, a masters degree from Johns Hopkins and a Juris Doctor from Harvard. He later became ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Secretary of the Navy.
WOW! Talk about credentials - Which goes to show credentials don't amount to a damned thing when it comes to being a successful governor.
Slogans could not Savus from Mabus, but it would be Bad to have Shad.
Once again, the lone krusayduh has it wrong. The Goose Grillin' Gunn was a different fellow with the same last name.
Genuine? Well, but genuine WHAT? lol
Actually, Andy has excelled in his current role as well as the time he served in the legislature. Don't forget that Feel Brant appointed him because he was a timely and much needed burr under Brant's saddle blanket in the legislature.
Shadrack has excelled at avoiding the constraints of a job description. He would be a runner up to Gunn's ability to piss everybody off.
Appointed to office by Deputy Feel. Enough said.
Shadster sounds a lot like Shyster.
moi aussi.
Pleeeeease open up shooting these geese at the Rez.
Wrong.
I wouldn’t vote for Howdy Doody Shad if the only other candidate was a Jackass. He has no substance and is a habitual liar. He inflates ALL his accomplishments, if that is what you people wish to call them. He has ruined so many innocent peoples lives half-ass “investigating” so called crimes, just to run for governor. History will label him an ineffective bully who was beaten up everyday in high school.
hahahahaha well that may be true, but I ll take a chance on credentials over festus any day of the week
by the way: nice work on the slogans lol
@9:47 I've heard "Savus from Mabus" many times but no one has said what was so bad about him other than the D next to his name. Care to enlighten me?
Shad, please read and reread the Peter Principle.
Lynn and Cindy both need to sit their ignorant and incompetent asses down. Cindy you look like you missed the real looking girl gene pool so quit the transgender bashing ads!
It'll be difficult, but not as difficult as you may think.
Show us previous elections in the Bible Belt where your spin proved true.
October 29, 2026 at 9:47 AM - Mic drop!!
He was a whiner. He was a pandering politician. And he was only focused on one thing - reelection. But how did that work out for him?? (Sounds a bit like Shadster if you ask me.)
@2:26 You still didn't answer the question but that's alright.
Andy Gipson would have us live in a theocracy if he had his way. He won't get my vote.
With those four options, maybe voting blue is the best choice
