*Boom Boom explodes onto the scene *
I will be holding my nose when I vote today. Hopefully, I can finish up before I pass out.
One thing to look at where the money comes from for each candidate. It’s public information.
I never understood people that voted for someone they don’t like just because of party, especially in a southern governor’s race. It’s not like the other candidate is going to be AOC.
But you can “generally” know how that even though you may not love the candidate, he or she is going to prolly be on the same page on most issues. One only need to go back to the pandemic to see how important that can be.
Better to get 80% of what you do want instead of 80% of what you don’t want.

Who do I vote for if I want someone who can be moderate when they need to be and who thinks for themselves rather than taking walking orders based on what color hat they wear? I don’t get that? Awesome. Thanks.
You may want to check out Jon Bell Edwards the LA gov'ner. He is not AOC, but more liberal than you expect from a southern governor.
When I see him in Jax State and Alcorn State swag, he's got my vote. I do love a panderer.
Anyway, John Bel's been a good, quiet effective governor of Louisiana. He's no liberal. He's center-left. He's just not conservative enough for the anti-vax super patriotic bald eagle-loving freedom lovers who buy gold and my pillows and listen to angry, dimwitted talk radio guys. He's an Airborne Ranger and likely has little future in the Dem Party because he's too conservative for them, especially on abortion.

I had a sales guy, from up North, try to impress me yesterday by telling me how much he loved the grove. Meeting ended quickly and I didn’t buy anything. I’m not voting for Tate either, mainly because I don’t live in MS.
After reading all the hate for Tate on this board through the last 4 years, I am surprised there is any active support for him. I have no idea who he is running against, but after seeing how much Tate has been lit up on here, I would think almost any support for him is more 'passive hold your nose and vote' support vs active proud support.
Anyways, 50 can 50 today. I have my own problems up here where there are countless MFL single issue school board candidates who genuinely DGA17 about everything that goes into running a school district and only care about their MFL agenda, and a state Legislature that is all too willing to pander to the same group of crazy voters and push out even more education legislation that isnt fully thought out and creates countless unintended consequences.
Im with Podgy- lets see Reeves in some JSU swag or rocking a Fighting Okra on his chest. Crank up the pandering to 11.
Wrong, his funding came from Biden and the Democrats so he will do their bidding in Mississippi. We even received mailers from the Arkansas Democrats for this election. They are going all out in Mississippi.
Tater tot's gonna win easily 55-45ish.
Bigger question, what's up with his security guard in OM colors and the blue tents!

I stopped doing that. If I have to come home and take a shower after voting, I just don't vote for that person. The lesser of two evils is still evil...
Why do you and others make posts but it's noteworthy when glfr does? Weird flex.
I guess technically Tater got funding from Democrats too. Isn’t that who funds welfare?
I like Golfer and was trying to be funny. Sorry it offended you. Do you have a safe space? ***
Lots of important state elections get outside support. I'm guessing that a state Republican might not necessarily be beholden to outside interests but instead just supports policies that made him join the Republican Party in the first place. Otherwise, he'd be a Democrat. It's the Deep South so the legislature has a Republican majority that can block crazy, unpopular legislation. Or it should be able to but Republicans in Louisiana barely challenged John Bel on some issues. They did complain a lot though, which made for some good memes and insults that gave their supporters the opportunity to laugh and high five each other.
If a candidate fails on their first major political decision, which party do I run for, then how can you trust any other decision he/she makes?
My wife and I received two each from some "Voter Fairness" organization in Fayetteville AR. Both were very derogatory to Reeves. My sister received them too. I would have gladly posted pictures if I hadn't sh*t canned them. Out of state interference at its finest.
He's just trying to show people he's more accessible than Selmon**.......
My late, super rich uncle gave to both sides in several elections unless the outcome was obvious. He was a conservative Dem when those types were the majority. He switched to being Republican late in life because that was good for business. He wasn't all that political. He liked making money and he was generous with it as well. He made money when Dems were in the state house and the White House and when Republicans were there too.
4 of Reeves top 10 came from out of state. 5 of Presleys top 10 came from out of state.
12% of Reeves total donations came from out of state.
27% of Presleys total donations came from out of state
Reeves top donor was Mississippi Strong (part of the Republican Governors Association PAC)
Presleys top donor was the
Democratic Governors Association.
This info came from Mississippi Today.
Ok I was interpreting your original post as being from the Arkansas Democratic Party. This seems far more plausible.
Do you have similar problems when outside groups support candidates you like?
I’d vote for Tater Tot if he came across as an effective wrestling heel— someone who people love to dislike.
But he’s not even that good.
I want excellence in my political wrestling heels dammit.
An ol’ fashioned Democratic heel actually sounds good.
I was just going to hold my nose and vote for Tate but since I heard the radio spot Trump did for him I'll need to hold my nose, wear a blindfold and ear plugs.
