I don’t know if that is true about those two here in North Mississippi.

Desoto county is growing mainly from conservative people getting away from Memphis TN. It’s in the top 30 counties in growth nationwide. We hear mainly TN news, and with Corker and Alexander going no cloture, that won’t help provide any fire insurance on Lott and Cochran.

Yeah, but if Lott pulls 90% of a primary vote in Harrison, Hancock and Jackson (counties) based on Katrina alone.

Well, I kind of think that’s a vote margin that is hard to beat, even with DeSoto. And Lott and Cochran are still popular in Rankin, the other big source of votes in the state. Maybe DeSoto has grown larger than since I last checked, but still, I’ve always thought of it as less significant than the 3 coastal counties, which seem to always vote for the same guy, and Rankin, which at this point actually has more people than Hinds, and votes something like 83% Republican on everything, making the primary important for local races.

Lott’s base is South Mississippi, any challenger to him would have to be able to counteract that, and Lott can’t lose those counties period, meaning that any challenger has to beat him by larger margins in the rest of the state

I am in Gulfport and I can assure you that every single Conservative Republican that I know... and that is really the only people that are worth knowing... are so put out by Trent right now that many have vowed to defeat him in the Primary if he runs again... or to simply not vote. NO ONE is giving money to the RNC... no one! We are supporting Conservative causes and Candidates directly. If the Party wants to arm itself with the proper weaponry for the coming battle (CA$H), they had better remember "Of the People, By the People and for the People".

The duet of Amnesty and refusal to defend himself, his administration or the WOT; Mr. Bush has worn thin these days also. I guess you can say we passed fed up long ago. This newfound elitist and condescending tone from DC has been the final straw for the Bedrock Base... and everyone in the Republican hierarchy damn well knows it. We ain’t fergittin’ no time soon either!

We are writing Thad also... for what it is worth. I hold some hope... but that's just how I am.
