I predict that if Thad wins Tuesday and wins in November, he will serve about 6 months and then step down AFTER he has made a deal with the Republican Governor of Mississippi to appoint Haley Barbour to that Senate seat to finish out his Term. Then, you’ll have ol’ “Twangy-tongue Barbour” for another 20 years unless the cholesterol gets him first and he has a massive heart attack from too many hot dogs and milk shakes. I’m telling you, Thad is not running to serve 6 more years. This is all planned out for Haley Barbour to get that Senate seat.
Here is a little character tester. If McDaniel loses the primary and announces his support for Thad, which is likely, what will be the reaction of his backers? How about the posters on FR. Surely very few of them are Mississippians, so they will have no dog in this fight in such a case. What about the out of state big spenders who have funded his campaign. Interesting, isn’t it?
The 80% has been around for many years I believe. However there are other
studies that contridict that conclusion especially in Senate races.
In any case MS seems to possibly be on the verge of electing a new Senator.
Texas made some changes this time by letting some go that had been in office for years.
Every so often change seems to come around as people say enough.
Tuesday will be an interesting day in that there are several states with primaries.
Alabama - California - Iowa - Mississippi - Montana -
New Jersey - South Dakota
