George Dale is back in as commissioner of insurance. He caught Marty Frankel in the scam in 1998. Dr. Lester Spell is running away as commissioner of agriculture.
Barbour is carrying Alcorn by 1000 votes or better now. 75% of boxes reporting. Little now ahead in Tishomingo, Tippah, and Alcorn Counties.

Those countries are only moving towards democracy because their leaders are afraid that the US military will invade their countries. If the US was pulling a Somalia again, they'd be lining those legislators up against a wall.

Thanks WD. You summed up most of your fellow paleos quite nicely.

[ambrose]

He needs 50% + 1 of the popular vote, plus a majority of all house districts... otherwise, it goes to the state House of Reps, which remains firmly in Rat hands.

Wow, there's anti-GOP venom just
DRIPPING from that AP story.

I thought he was talking about Kentucky.

It would be nice if we could visit together and not discuss politics or religion, but it's like walking on eggs and in spite of everything they can't spend a day without some snide comment about my religion. I simply won't take it any more. I love them, but I don't have to be around them.

Pubbie, what's your problem? I've written like 3 things on this (it's relevant because it affects 2004 election), and other people have written about 40 things, and you keep shrieking only at me to be quiet, and I haven't posted anything for like 10 minutes. Take your Ritalin, boy!

Amy Tuck wins

[Consort]

Has anybody heard from Terry McAuliffe?

[jwalsh07]

If no candidate gets 50+ it goes to the dem legislature just like last time but it seems unlikely tonight.

hee hee I stand "updated"

I have relatives in Baldwyn, but I don't know the county name to see how they voted.

You should stay off the crack cocaine and quit reading Pat Buchanan and writing Jay Rockefeller's memos.

[onyx]

AAAAH, I missed you! Hope you enjoyed your "supper."

[wardaddy]

...but my youngest knows what time it is...my eldest is sort of like dad was sadly.
