Looks like Boss Hogg(Haley Barbour) and his clan could not gin up
enough votes in Hinds County to overtake McDaniel. Even a 3 hour delay
in reporting the final 25% of Hinds County, which gave them plenty of time
to gin up votes, wasn’t enough.
We will soon find out by the type of ads Boss Hogg runs against McDaniel
in the runoff if the GOP really wants a majority in the senate or has been
lying all along.
Well the GOP should at least be happy there is a tea party republican in the senate instead of a democrat.
Should pay closer attention to their Democrat friends. Dems would have wrapped up their victory last night.
Sorrell Booke was head and shoulders ahead of H. Barbour:
Booke (Boss Hogg) was born in Buffalo, New York, a cousin of Max Yasgur of Woodstock fame. Fluent in five languages including Russian and Japanese, Booke earned degrees from both Columbia and Yale universities. He served in the Korean War as a counterintelligence officer.
