Mississippi 2015 Megathread

[gespb19]

Gray leading Short 49-27 in early votes. Slater at 23.

A Jackson truck driver leads the Democratic primary. Amazing.

According to politics1.com and southernpoliticalreport.com Gray is a retired firefighter. Ron Gunzburger at Politics1 probably got his information from that second site, so they could both be wrong.

Getting my info from this.

No idea:
Three Democrats are running. Vicki Slater, 60, a Madison attorney and former president of Mississippi Association for Justice, a trial lawyers’ group, is favored over Dr. Valerie Short, an Air Force veteran, and retired firefighter Robert Gray. Slater will focus on the need for more funding for education and the failure of the state to expand its Medicaid coverage under Obamacare.

Reeves has been renominated for Republican Lt. Gov.

Fitch leading 52-48 with 2% in.

I totally forgot this thing was today.

[7,052,770]

Blegh, Joel Bomgar wins in H58.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Pickering, Chaney, and Johnson getting at least 67%. None of their victories have been called, but they look very safe.

[gespb19]

Looks like DeSoto has booted 3 incumbents.

[7,052,770]

Not a single vote in from DeSoto or Madison (the city), and very few from the Coast.

It doesn't look good for MHB, but there are a LOT of votes still out there.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Gray leading Slater 49-31 with 9% in. Short at 21.
Fitch leading 56-44 with 7% in.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Johnson has been nominated for Democratic Lt. Gov.

Gray is at 50% now.

[gespb19]

Mayor Mary losing Madison Co with over 50% of the vote in there.

Mayor Mary losing Madison Co with over 50% of the vote in there.

Madison (the city) isn't in yet.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Chaney has been renominated for GOP Insurance Commissioner.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Fitch at 57% with 17% in. So much for that race being a Toss-Up.

[7,052,770]

Looks like Longwitz probably survives. The Stone/Hale race is razor-thin.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Pickering leading 67-33 with 25% in.
Gray leading Slater 49-31 with 27% in. Short at 20.
Fitch leading 57-43 with 24% in.

Gray leading almost every county: https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=2015&off=5&elect=1&fips=28&f=0

He has no website, no campaign, and raised $0. WTF.

If he wins, the Mississippi Democratic primary is officially the biggest joke in America.

Pickering has been renominated for GOP Auditor

Democratic Party in this state needs a massive shakeup. Complete joke.

Yeah. At this point, Slater will need lots of good luck to even force a runoff, and she was supposed to easily top 50%. This reminds me of TN nominating Charlie Brown last year.

Except the Dem leaders trotted her around as some great candidate and called her the "next Kirk Fordice" (not sure that is a good thing). It was pretty much assumed that she would win the primary easily and she is losing to an f'ing truck driver.

[7,052,770]

I think she'll keep him under 50 and beat him handily in 3 weeks. But still, absolutely unacceptable.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Most truck drivers are good people, as are most fire fighters.

My guess is about half the callers to the ridiculous talk show Coast to Coast that I listen to are truck drivers and a lot of them are quite intelligent.  Wouldn't expect a truck driver or a fire fighter who raised no money and apparently didn't even campaign to lead though.
