Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (R) is scheduled to announce his appointee as the interim replacement to resigned Republican Sen. Trent Lott on Monday, according to CQ Politics.

Rep. Roger Wicker (R-MS) "is widely regarded as a leading candidate to be Barbour’s choice, and other GOP figures are thought to be under consideration."

However, one prominent Mississippi Republican-- retiring Rep. Charles W. “Chip” Pickering Jr. -- "took it upon himself Friday afternoon to remove himself from the running for the seat that Lott vacated for personal reasons on Dec. 18."

Do Democrats have any realistic chance of winning the general election here?  I seriously doubt it...

As much realistic chance as Eaves does defeating Barbour with provisional ballots.

No Pickering? Oh well. Is there anyone else really in the running besides Wicker?

A poll showed former governor Ronnie Musgrove leading Wicker by 12 points.  Take from that what you want.

Was this a poll of Ole Miss Democrats?

You're gonna find this really surprising, but...
...
...
...the poll that had Dems up by 12 was a partisan Dem poll.

I know, hard to believe, right?

Do HRC and Mr. "Moderate" have jobs, or do they live only to put down and berate Mississippi Democrats?  Maybe they're on Haley Barbour's payroll, and it's their job to visit various internet boards and pump Republican sunshine...

So who will be appointed, Harry? Eaves or Fleming?

I am employed, thank you.

And you miss the point.  I do not mock Mississippi Democrats.  Just people who insist no-shot-in-Hell candidates are a cinch to win.  Again and again.  And never learn.

Musgrove has "no shot in Hell".... alright, we'll just see about that.

Also, I've never insisted any such candidate was a "cinch" to win, "thank you."

You've also never deleted lots and lots of very inaccurate predictions, "thank you."

Ha! Has he really deleted those old predictions? That's terrible. At least I stick by my inaccurate calls even after they are proved wrong.

If everyone else was wrong, and you honestly have not deleted, nor edited out, old predictions on Atlas Forum, then the least I can do is apologize for that part.

You did admit twice even you do not believe your own predictions, though.

ok I guess, but all I said was that Musgrove has a chance, which is backed up by polling data (obviously Musgrove probably isn't really ahead by 12 points, but the poll suggests that it will at least be competitive)

So anyway, Wicker has been appointed. From what I've seen in his press conference with Barbour, Wicker seems to be a decent, humble, upbeat guy. I think he'll become one of my favorites.
