WHO GIVES A CRAP? After what Thad Cochran and the Barbour family of Mississippi did to Chris McDaniel, the politicians in the State of Mississippi can all go drown themselves in the Gulf of Mexico and go on to their reserved spot in Hell that awaits them. Most people would not shive a git.

Don’t let the Chamber of Commerce run your state. Also, don’t let Democrats run your state, but it appears you have that part in hand.

I'm angry about Chris McDaniel, also.
But local and state government elections are sometimes more important than national elections.

While conducting research on the Governor's race, I like INCUMBENT Phil Bryant over Mitch Young, mostly because of his strong defense of GUN RIGHTS.
With my experience in the military as a retired Air Traffic Controller, I'm not impressed with Young's resume.

Are any of the local races getting a lot of play? To a
large degree I guess this is in effect a local election.

McDaniel is running in the 42nd district. It’s important to support him. We must never give up. If we keep fighting these RINOs, we will eventually win. The public is SICK of machine politicians and THAT is what is fueling Trump, whom I support, along with Cruz.

I'm also a Trump / Cruz guy. But, I am angry at the people of the State of Mississippi for rolling over and "giving up" after what Cochran and Barbour did. They should have organized violent protests and raised hell like the State of Mississippi has not seen since the '60s; hired some thugs to beat Haley Barbour's fat, biscuit greasy ass and burn his car. So much hell should have been raised that Cochran would have resigned out of fear. But no, they just "gave in"...... Mississippi Politics as usual.

HELL YES; I'M STILL ANGRY!!!

I haven't been following it that closely.
My research on the Lt. Governor's race doesn't reveal much. The Hattiesburg American has a small article on 4 candidates for lieutenant governor, with a little information.
I'll be voting for Tate Reeves.

Researching the State AUDITOR's Race, INCUMBENT Stacey Eugene Pickering has a history, that I be voting AGAINST ! The Mayor of Madison, MS, Mary Hawkins Butler has a better record.
She also appears to have a better grass-roots organization.

If I can discover WHO those "ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICAN" ENABLERS are, they will NOT get MY vote.

On the STATE TREASURER's Race,

After the Cochran debacle I am voting anti incumbant on everything. Bryant stayed silent during it all. Reeves is keeping a lot of conservative things from making into the senate.Lynn Fitch is my hometown spendthift. Let them all burn.

A Note to Conservative Voters: Stacey Pickering is THE Establishment Candidate in the Race for State Auditor

http://mississippiconservativedaily.com/2015/08/03/a-note-to-conservative-voters-stacey-pickering-is-the-establishment-candidate-in-the-race-for-state-auditor/

Thus far in the Mississippi Primary Campaign, which comes to its final conclusion on Tuesday, there seems to be a great deal of confusion among conservative voters across the state about who is and who is not the Establishment candidate in the race for State Auditor.

So let’s clear up the confusion really quick:

Stacey Pickering is the Establishment’s man in this race, regardless of personal feelings about his opponent. The Barbours are backing Pickering, which should be the measuring stick for determining Establishment membership. Austin Barbour is raising money for Pickering’s campaign. And it’s widely believed that Pickering is protecting the Barbours in his lofty position. Pickering, it might also be noted, chaired Mitt Romney’s campaign in Mississippi. You can’t get any more Establishment than that.

Mary Hawkins Butler does not have Establishment support. She is no longer in the esteemed “Inner Circle.” She has been ostracized by the Barbours, who, from rumors circulating around the state, did not want her to run against their boy Pickering.

So in the primary election on Tuesday, if one is voting along Establishment/Anti-Establishment lines, a vote AGAINST Stacey Pickering is the only vote against the Barbour Machine and business as usual

On PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSIONER: I'll be voting for Greer.

The rest of MY BALLOT CHOICES are very LOCAL, such as Sheriff and County Supervisors.

>> PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSIONER <<

This one looks to me like the only race that can make a big difference for the entire state.

I don’t know where the various candidates, ‘Pub or Dhimmi, stand on the Kemper power plant fiasco. But if that monstrosity isn’t killed once and for all, I think the MS GOP would and should have a terrible stain on its record — a black mark that could last for years.

Do be sure to read the link I posted.

You just think the IRS was used against conservatives. Just wait till Mary is in the State Auditors office...you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.
