I don't care where you are in MS, but that man is nuttier than a pecan pie in a fruit cake factory.

conservative of a state the folks think MS is. We can prevail as a Democratic state and shed the red opinion.

MS has a lot of authors, and we are genuinely involved in politics.

I run into our representatives in the grocery store.

Characterizing all of us that live in this state as idiots is slander.

I live in this state, and I know the mayor, the representative (whom I despise) and the Senator of our state.

I know his family. If McDaniel wins the primary, our state will be split. Everyone knows Childers, and a HUGE percentage think Palazzo and McDaniel are idiots.

Gene Taylor is running as a Republican and I will vote for him anyway, because I know the man and he is a decent human being. We have no Democrats running and anything to oust the asshole Palazzo is a good thing.

We have so many good people in this state, and so many positive things about it.

We have more authors in this state than most.

And CNN YUCK! is Anderson Cooper with Wolf with some updates. Election night is my kind of super bowl, and nobody's telling me shit. I'm hoping Rachel comes back live at 9 with results.
