This is Mississippi for those who windered.
While Palazzo is more moderate than I’d like, Gene Taylor is not the answer. Gene Taylor was conservative mostly on social issues, not economic ones. He was bought and paid for by Big Labor, and was a reliable vote for anything the union bosses wanted, even though Mississippi is a strong right-to-work state.
If he is a Republican he should have switched in he had the chance.
I’m sticking with Palazzo - not some “gender—identity-challenged” guy who thinks he has a better chance on the Republican side because he is too “moderate” for the Left side.
I know he may not be that likable, but wasn’t Taylor for a number of cycles the most conservative of all the Democrat House members? There was no competition for the title, I guess. I once heard the forgotten Vin Weber, R-MN, call Taylor a “conservative”.
