I was listening to Rick and Bubba out of Birmingham yesterday. It was a topic for many callers so I figure it has to have a major impact in Dixie as well else where. I knew it would but never tried to make an issue of it here since you are immediately labeled "bigot" even if you don't agree with the practice but acknowledge it as a factor.

Why we had so many back a guy already handicapped by political realities is beyond me. Politically correctness has no role in political strategy.

I think it would be a fine addition to this thread [or future threads] if we could know what the Governor’s positions were when he was running for office. i.e. how conservative is he?

I remember him as a spokesperson on television when he was running the RNC, and believe him to be conservative. But then he was defending the Republican party and not his own ideas. I used to live in Mississippi, but I didn’t live there when he ran for office.
