It's been long rumored, and now appears to be true. Mississippi will have a Republican Lt. Governor next week.

Didn't Haley Barbour go to work for the UN after quitting the RNC?

The only thing she lacks is blonde hair. What a ditz.

"Tuck may be going to GOP"

Is she pro second amendment?

DemRAT Response WHAT THE TUCK IS GOING ON DOWN HERE?

A minor nit-pick, here. It's really irritating when someone posts without any indication as to what location they're talking about. At the very least the full title of the newspaper source is in order.

For example, when I post stuff from my own locale, Houston, I always say "Houston Chronicle," not simply "The Chronicle."

I skimmed through this but was unable to determine where you're talking about this happening. "Clarion-Ledger" is the name shared by several newspapers that I can recollect.

Congratulations to Amy Tuck. It sometimes takes a little while, but eventually most people of decency and shame make the right decision to leave the scumbag party and join the humans. It takes guts to make the switch at the level she has reached, but better late than never.

Contrast this with Senator Jeffords who proudly proclaimed, "I want to be a scumbag!"

I've heard this rumor for at least a year, now it finally appears to be true. BTW, Chip Pickering would have beaten the socks off Ronnie Shows regardless of what kind of district was drawn. Pickering destroyed Shows in this last election 65% to 35%. Beating an incumbent congressman that badly is not common but Pickering did it.

State Sen. Terry C. Burton, D-Newton, said he "was not shocked" to hear reports that Tuck had decided to switch parties. "I have heard all the rumors. If that what she's comfortable doing, I support her all the way. It won't affect her ability to preside over the Senate." Burton said he had been approached over the last two years about a possible switch to the GOP, but he said he had not reached a decision. "It's something worth thinking about and talking about," he said.

He's next for sure. I bet there's a lot more to follow.

For all those annoyed at the lack of an identifying state, I agree. I had no idea who Amy Tuck was or where this article was from until I saw Pickering's name.

Can anyone form MS explain to me the large disparity of Dems to Reps in the legislature there. I understand that southern Rats are slow to change on a local level, heck we just recently took over in Republican South Carolina. But that disparity in a conservative state is huge!

BTW, watch out for Chip Pickering. I believe he is a future Republican star. Young with lots of appeal. Our party has a great future with people like him on the bench. The best the Rats can do is dig up fossils like Mondull and Lousyburg. They are in big trouble!! LOL!!

TUCK EVERLASTING

[notdownwidems]

Would it be too much to ask to not have to read many many paragraphs into the post to find out WHAT STATE you may be talking about in this? Long time freeper pet-peeve

[BibChr]

Tuck? Really?

Well... I guess that's good news....

No where in your story does it say what state is being discussed. It is not until I get to your post that I find out that it is Mississippi.
Unless you count the part that mentions the two schoools she attended, which is still over half way down the article.

Please in the future and not just "Buggs", tell us where you are talking about.
Sometimes it is hard to keep track of the thousands of politicians.
