I can see Hyde-Smith winning by a large margin.

right in front of California
 
A neanderthal racist deplorable running in a state with a ton of such folks..... this one is a lock - Hyde-Smith by a solid ten points or more.

I would love see Espy win - but the deck is stacked more against him than even Texas against Beto.
 


I have listened to and enjoyed the whole song countless times. I learned to spell Mississippi long before I ever heard the song.

And what pray tell is the definitive "racism" test? Is there like a little cross that becomes ablaze when the subject of the test pees on it?

Anyone who isn't liberal.

yes, I use the song by Jeanie C Riley each and every time I attempt to spell it.
I DO get it right though.
You know, the lady who sang Ode to Billy Joe.
It was on the flip side of the 45.

(Clearing my throat) ahhem...." M..I...double S, I...Double S, I...double P, I. "
You will always get it right if you do that.

Now lets spell TN. :)
 
I knew combining the two polls was going to skew the percentages, but when I add the percentages up, I come up with a number substantially higher than 100%......approx 136, as it stands now. What happened?
 
PleasantValley said:
OK, teacher, let me see here if i can make a diddy out of it?

Tennessee

T E double N E, double S and double EE.
(added the "double EE" at the end to make it rhyme)

Good one. I find people who spell well (my attempt at poetry) fascinating. I can't spell longer words without writing them down first.:3oops:

Hyde-Smith has hinted at possessing just enough Mississippi-DNA-racism to probably win.

Thats a stupid thing to say. If Mississippi is so filled with racists, she would need do nothing more than show her white skin to defeat a black candidate. Stop race baiting every issue.

That’s only because some black people are allowed to vote and express their displeasure with all the racism down there now. Otherwise, she could campaign in a white sheet and hood, and then win by a landslide.

I have always been a good speller, but now with these tremors, I can not type so well.
I have to edit everything about four to six times before posting.

I have Dragon Speech-to-text but have not learned to use it yet.
 
PleasantValley said:
Now i am not sure.
For accuracy's sake, I think Jeanie C. Riley sang Harper valley PTA.
and i have a brain cloud as to who sang Ode To Billy Joe.

Either way it was the singer who did Ode To Billy Joe that also sang M, I ...double S, I...Double S, I ...double P, I.

I believe you are referring to Miss Bobbie Gentry....

Down in the Mississippi Delta
Wearin' last years possum pelt
Smack dab in the Mississippi Delta

Have me a little of that Johnny cake
A little bit of that apple pan dowdy
Pickin them scoopenoggin's off that vine
Chigger bite, it's goin' to beat howdy

Ate me a bucket of Muscadine
Sit on the riverbank after dark
Drop my line down a crawdad hole
Do him in with a scaly bark

Old fox, I done give him the slip

In Biloxi on an overnight trip

Can't leave till a week from Monday

Ahh, the memories. Thank you.
Yup, that is her. Miss Bobby Gentry.
Though both of them were pretty hot looking babes.

Hearing that old song makes me want to wiggle my toes in the mud just for old times sake.

Hot indeed.

I had to tell them to quit calling me at home. The wife was getting jealous.

LOL!
 
58 Republicans in the Senate. All we need now is for Ginsberg to croak.

When you grow seats, the other side loses seats. It was 51 - 49 now it's 53 - 47, huge difference. Before it was a 2 point Republican lead now it's a 6 point lead, meaning the Republican Senate can lose votes and still pass what they want.

Where does the number “58” factor in?

Actually it's a far bigger victory than just 2 seats. McConnell with only 51 seats had to go through pretzel like contortions to corral even
50 votes for anything to get through the senate. McCain, Flake, Corker, Collins & Murlowski were often thorns in his side. So he only had
46 for sure. Now with more solid Republicans in the fold he only has to worry about Murlowski & Collins. A solid 51 with the new senators
in Tennesse, Indiana, Florida, N. Dakota & Missouri solidly in favor of Trump's agenda.

If he had this new senate abolishing Obamacare would have been no problem at all & the Kvanaugh
SCOTUS vote would have been a slam dunk!
