The Mississippi Democratic Party received a shock this week when its favored candidate lost in the primary to a truck driver who didnt spend a single cent on his campaign and says that he was too busy to vote for himself.
46-year-old Robert Gray won the gubernatorial primary with more than 50 percent of the vote. He carried all but three of the states counties.
He got a call from his mother on election day who was excited that she voted for a candidate with her sons nameshe didnt know it was actually him because he hadnt told any of his family or friends that he was even running.

This might be the funniest thing I’ve read all week.

Sounds like the democrat party is as useless in Mississippi as the republican is in California.
L o L !
No way he wins against Thad’s bud Bryant
Here he is talking at the courthouse or whatever building....

Here's the candidate the DNC backed. Vicki Slater.
He’s going up against a Republican later...this is so funny! But it does make one think now doesn’t it!
Apparently his name was first on the ballot ... Lol
“Vicki Slater, the party-backed candidate he defeated, has been actively campaigning since she announced her campaign in February.”
Let this be a lesson to would-be politicians. Sometimes, the less we see or hear of you, the more we like you.
He was so obscure that the media had to scramble to find a picture of him after he won.
He was first on the ballot. That’s likely why he won.
On the other hand, he was up against two women so maybe the female vote isn’t a foregone conclusion for Hillary....
“A harbinger of what is coming down the chute next year as Progressives take it up the hind parts...”
Don’t get TOO excited; we tried this in the Mid-Terms and put a LOT of ‘Republicans’ in place all across the land. Didn’t help our side one tiny little bit!
However, I like the way you think and this election outcome is one for the ages.
Think it’ll be on the Nightly News? ROFLMAO! :)
He didn’t even vote for himself...LOLOOOLOL.....
Indeed it does. Even the democrats don't trust the party-backed apparachiks. This is shaping up to be a real hair-pulling political season.
I guess the Republican for Governor is a shoe in so he really likely won’t go further....but this sure would look good on his resume!
I’m enjoying this election season as none other let me tell ya!
