Jesse and the Democrats say "Nothin' like having a couple of Uncle Toms to make the Republicans look better."

I wonder how long it will be before Blackmon says that too.

I would like it very much if Barbour would give Gary Anderson some sort of job. On balance, Anderson was probably better qualified for the position of state treasurer than was Reeves. That's not to say Reeves won't be a good treasurer. I'm just pointing out that Reeves doesn't have much of a resume'.

Anderson also pulled 22 percent of the white vote in his race for treasurer (Cf. Blackmon's 8%). I think he will be a powerful candidate in the future once he builds up some name recognition and gains more experience. Consequently, I also think the goal for the MSGOP should be to make a full-court press right now and try to get Anderson to switch parties. He cold be a real asset in the future!

Very classy of Gary Anderson to be supportive. He's a class guy, and ran a clean campaign. He also refused to play the race card, which is rare for a black Democrat in Mississippi.
