Mississippi ping

[PROCON]

With the Louisiana Gubernatorial results, its starting to spred across the country..be of stout heart all!!

[WKB]

I think Haley is safe. Some of the others
may be close.

[onyx]

I got to cast my vote for ‘my’ Haley Barbour today and for every other Republican on the ballot. Fancy voting machine too, but I conquered it without asking for help. How about that, huh? :0)

[WKB]

I voted all Rs except for Ag Comm Lester Spell.
I voted for the 3rd party as my protest of
the $55 million Beef Plant Fiasco

[MSF BU]

Are the house and senate up as well?

[LibLieSlayer]

I did too! I wish I could have voted for Haley twice!!! I am proud of my wife though... several county positions were incumbent dims running unopposed... she walked in and said, “I couldn’t vote for a dim... I wrote in Fred Thompson”! Gotta love her!

LLS

[WKB]

I think all state wide, House, Senate and locals
are up today.

I had such a GOOD time at the polls and I remain thrilled I finally got to vote for Haley Barbour!

I’m sure you received the same mail — or, knowing you, likely more — from him and from Mrs. Barbour with the photos of their family and of them. I also got two phone calls — one recording by Haley and one from a live person who sounded really pleased when I told him I could hardly wait to go vote for Haley...lol.

I love having my vote actually count. I hope he wins in a landslide.

[LibLieSlayer]

Dave Elliot (WLOX) posted it that way on purpose... he such a little dim.

LLS

[ejonesie22]

Exactly what I did.

Sad thing is I like Lester, but his time has come I think. Can’t rememebr the 3rd party guys name. Sad isn’t it.

Hey LLS! GOOD to see you!!!

(Smiling) GOOD on her — she wrote in Fred Thompson! I love it. I left blank the unopposed democrats, and voted for the Indie when I had a choice.

Haley is THEE BEST, isn’t he? He’s kept every campaign promise despite the democrats.

[LibLieSlayer]

Doing great and hope you and yours are ok? Yes... I got a kick out of it! Haley is the best!!! I can’t wait to back him for President! He will win too!

LLS

[onyx]

WLBT 3 has the same count right now.

Let the nasty democrat think he’s winning for a while.

[onyx]

Yes, I am doing fine! Thanks for asking. Oh yeah, I would love to back our Haley Barbour for president. Amazing man. Absolutely thee best.

I want to tour the Governor’s Mansion again.

Candidate Votes Vote %

Haley Barbour (R) (inc) 2,176 61%

John Eaves (D) 1,373 39%

[realpatriot]

Any guess as to the demographics of whatever precinct voted this way?

[LibLieSlayer]

I am hoping for at least 65% for Haley. Let’s hope he holds a big lead. I think I despise eaves as much as I do hildebeast! He is so blasphemous.

LLS

[WKB]

Somebody wrote a letter to the CL the other day
and said they expected JAE to start baptizing
in the Reservoir just any day.

[ejonesie22]

Sounds right. Certainly would not vote for a Dem

[peggybac]

Oh yeah, I would love to back our Haley Barbour for president. Amazing man. Absolutely thee best.

From your lips to God’s ears!

[WKB]

Right now it looks like AG Jim Hood is the only
dim with a lead in the state wide races.

[LibLieSlayer]

Hee hee... man he is the sleaziest pol to come down the pike in a long time. I like what one employee of the Ledger said, “To know him is to hate him”.

Congrats to Mr. Barbour!

Not only has he done a terrific job as Governor in a Katrina time of crisis, has also done well in helping steal huge factories like Ford, from us northerners in the rust belt.

Also, since Bush is blamed for causing hurricanes in the first place - I say give Haley some credit for warding them off the last couple years. ;-)

In addition to the statewide offices, the other biggie is making sure we retain the State Senate and get closer to control in the House. Do you have some links to the election returns for everything ? I couldn’t find anything on the Sec of State site.

I’ve found http://www.wlox.com/Global/link.asp?L=275969 easier to read.

[fieldmarshaldj]

I’m calling it for Barbour (hell, if the MSM can call it for Beshear with 12% in, I’m calling it with 2% in for Haley !). GOP clean sweep of all the offices in MS except the incumbent AG (a problematic office we seem to have trouble winning in too many states — there hasn’t been a GOP AG in MS since Reconstruction).

[LibLieSlayer]

I know Al Hopkins well and he is a fine man... sad if he loses.

LLS

[Norman Bates]

Hey gal!!

[fieldmarshaldj]

Thanks.

[Norman Bates]

I’m calling it for Barbour

Congratulations! We won!! Good work everyone! :)

[fieldmarshaldj]

We still haven’t been able to oust the Black Dem AG in Georgia, either, and we may not win the office in the runoff next week in LA.

[Clintonfatigued]

Republicans are given an outside chance at winning the state House of Representatives. They’ll probably expand their narrow majority in the state Senate.

[LibLieSlayer]

I guess the trial lawyer club is dim exclusive.

LLS

[onyx]

I have NO idea about that — WKB is the Mississippi expert. I am a transplated Mississipian -— Southern, yes, as in Southern CA. :0)

[fieldmarshaldj]

Early returns in one race show party-switching Ralph Doxey (son of early 20th century US Senator Wall Doxey) trailing his rodent opponent. :-\

MS has consistently failed us with making the kind of gains we’d often hope for going back to the ‘90s in the legislature, I’d hope this was the night we finally broke through.

[onyx]

Norman Bates! ROFL!

[Petronski]

Good God, I’m glad you’re back.

;OD

[Gurn]

I couldn’t bring myself to vote for Lester Spell. He’s a freaking criminal, and Jim Herring should have told him to go to hell when he switched parties. I voted for the Constitution Party candidate.

[rogue yam]

This site is good too:

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/elections/2007/by_state/MS_Page_1106.html?SITE=MSJAD&SECTION=POLITICS

All of the races are listed on a single page and it is updated quickly.

[LibLieSlayer]

The Delta loves their socialists.

LLS

[fieldmarshaldj]

Seems like. At least most states have the people choose the AG. Mine, TN, does not, and has the single-most unique and byzantine selection process that assures no Republican will ever be elected, even if we have gargantuan GOP voting majorities for other offices. It’s outrageous.

[onyx]

Hey (( YOU )) - I’m still around a little... just busy. GOOD to see you! Hiya cyborg!

[darkangel82]

We have a GOP AG who I voted for, but he’s gone to the dark side by supporting Giuliani.
