ARNOLD’S POLITICAL CAREER TO BE TERMINATED BY LETHAL REJECTION

According to SurveyUSA, the Governator’s approval rating is at a career killing 35%. That’s 1% below Kathleen Blanco, the incompetent chief executive of Louisiana. At one time I thought that Arnold would pull this thing out and climb out of the doldrums. No more. A 61% disapproval rating that reaches across all demographic groups does not a re-election make. The only question here is what liberal will the democrats choose to replace him. A limousine liberal or a high-tech liberal? Inquiring minds would love to know.

Rebuild Beauvoir

One doesn’t have to be a civil war buff or even mildly interested in history to want to see Jefferson Davis’ estate Beauvoir be rebuilt. It is a piece of southern heritage that no other state can lay claim too. It is a large tourist attraction and important landmark which personifies the confederacy. The principles underlying the confederacy have nothing to do with preservation efforts and should not be confused with the same. The NAACP has vociferously opposed the effort to rebuild using taxpayer monies. It is a sin and a shame. All who visit the state of Mississippi should visit the estate of the President of the Confederacy to remember his impact and teach it to future generations. One can appreciate Beauvoir while simultaneously disavowing white supremacy.

Blanco is Toast: SurveyUSA poll 71% of Whites disapprove

Poor Kathleen Blanco, she has announced that she is running for re-election. Somebody get her into a therapist immediately. She has to be delusional to think that with a disapproval rating among white voters of 71% she can win. She’s been in the doghouse with white voters for 10 of the last 12 months. It ain’t gonna turn around sweetheart. Hello, your base of blacks is in Texas sister. You can’t possibly win. Since it was white reluctance to choose a non-white Governor in the first place that put her in office over the dynamic policy wonk Bobby Jindal, her trump card over him is gone. I look forward to next year’s race. It should be a hell of a ride. Perhaps after Ray Nagin looses re-election in NOLA, he can run to give the race a dash of “soul”. He should run on a platform to make Louisiana a “chocolate” state.

King of the Delta

Congressman Bennie Thompson is the odds on favorite to win re-election this fall and to possibly preside over the House Homeland Security Committee if the democrat party wins control of the House. The main reason is because Chuck Espy can’t raise money. This race is ripe for the picking. The same Republican crossover votes that ousted Mayor Johnson in Jackson can choose a different Congressman if there is a better funded campaign. The Magnolia Report tells us that, “ over the last three months, Espy and Thompson are almost neck and neck with regards to fundraising. According to the Federal Election Commission, Espy has raised $92,000 and Thompson has raised $114,000, but Thompson has a 13 to 1 cash-on-hand advantage of $567,685 to $41,117.” The bottom line here is that if Espy don’t start raising money hand over fist, he can forget it. Primaries are turnout games and half-a-million is more than sufficient to get plenty of democrats out. 41K can’t do nothin’ against that. After all, Thompson has beat at least one Espy before. It looks like he’ll do it again and remain “King of The Delta.” He might even become the most powerful black man in the history of Mississippi.

Musgrove for Lt. Governor Again?

Bill Pittman is fueling speculation that former Governor Ronnie Musgrove is hinting that he will again seek the office of Lt. Governor. If true, and if successful it would be one of Mississippi’s most interesting political comebacks in quite some time. For a democrat, Governor Musgrove is very conservative being both a socially conservative pro-lifer and fiscal conservative. He backed tort reform, the death penalty and sought to bring to Mississippi Alabama Judge Roy Moore’s Ten Commandments monument. Anywhere else outside the deep south he would be a Republican. In fact, there isn’t a single Republican tenet of belief he doesn’t back in spirit if not in policy. That is what made his loss to the corporate whore in the Governor’s mansion now all the more curious. Hovever, I seriously doubt that he would have vetoed repeal of the nation’s highest grocery sales tax in favor shielding the tobacco merchants of death from more taxation.

SurveyUSA Poll: 53% Bush disapproval in Mississippi

The President’s disapproval ratings have hit an all time high in the great state of Mississippi. It augers poorly for GOP statewide candidates in the future. Governor Barbour, the President’s minion, has an April disapproval rating of 41% which is still in the danger zone of last month’s 44%. Barbour is right on the cusp of un-electability as he boldly pushes his corporate friendly agenda over the interests of the people during the most cataclysmic natural disaster in 50 years. It is the same tone-deafness displayed by Bush regarding Katrina that put him behind the eight-ball. Following in the President’s footsteps is sure to lead to the same vulnerability.

Hillary vs. Rudy

Hillary Clinton has now raised $39 million dollars for her re-election bid and it’s only April. She is sitting on $20 million dollars in cash-on-hand and her opponents are nothing more than vanity candidates that cannot possibly defeat her. She is running for President. Ain’t no doubt about that. She can run and she can win. There is only one way that we avoid the inevitable third Clinton term : Rudy Giuliani. Giuliani is running for something. It ain’t against Hillary for the Senate, but for President. Nobody does as many GOP fundraisers as he does for nothing. Some have said he is too liberal. Liberals don’t raise money for Ralph Reed and Rick Santorum. It is true he is moderate on some social issues like God, Guns and Gays. However, these are necessary positions when the suburban vote is as volatile as it is and mainstream conservatism is as out of favor as it is now. The President’s numbers are in the toilet. Rudy can save the GOP from the inevitable loss to Hillary. George Allen, Bill Frist, and John McCain can’t do that. He also puts New York in play and the entire atlantic seaboard states. Nobody else can do what he can. No name ID is higher and no credibilty is wider. He is a law and order conservative that northeastern white ethnics can rally around. He also inspires confidence among suburban women. He is the perfect candidate.

Keep Speaker McCoy

As the race for Speaker of the House takes shape one year before state elections, there is really only one commonsense, conservative option: Billy McCoy. I know he’s a Democrat. However, when it was necessary to face down Mississippi’s Governor to bring tax relief to the people, Speaker McCoy shrewdly led his troops into battle on the side of Lt. Governor Amy Tuck in her quest to bring sanity to bear on Mississippi public policy. If it is legitimate to use the public purse to subsidize the care and feeding of a multi-millionaire Governor. Then it is also legitimate to bring grocerey tax relief to thousands of Mississippi families in this time of crisis. Speaker McCoy understands that logic. He should be retained.

Duke Lacrosse Rape Scandal: No DNA match

Durham, NC (Sports Network) – Defense attorneys representing the players of the Duke lacrosse team announced on Monday that DNA tests conducted by police all came back negative, possibly clearing their clients of possible sexual assault charges.
The tests were a result of an alleged rape case that has rocked the university and surrounding community while also canceling the lacrosse season and forcing the resignation of head coach Mike Pressler. The alleged victim, an exotic dancer who attends nearby North Carolina Central University and is black, has accused three white players from the lacrosse team of rape and physical assault during a party on March 13 that she was hired to work. As a result, 46 of the 47 players on the team were forced to submit DNA. The one player not to submit DNA is black. Prosecutors have not filed charges in the case and the results announced on Monday will force prosecutors to make a decision. They could move forward on the rape charges without matching DNA, which would be risky, move forward on other charges or drop the case altogether.

Chuck Espy is no Clinton LeSueur

To say that a liberal democrat like Chuck Espy whose platform for change is more gov’ment spendin’ on social programs is really a viable alternative to the older liberal Bennie Thompson is like saying there is a real difference between Jesse Jackson, Jr. and his Daddy. There isn’t and there ain’t. If Repbulicans wanted a change they should have turned out in high numbers to vote for Clinton LeSueur, a real genuine GOP conservative. This year there is only one choice and it ain’t Espy, its Yvonne Brown for Republicans.
