Presley, a Democrat who currently serves on the Public Service Commission, hopes to take on Republican Gov. Tate Reeves.


Well, Uh-Huh.

Because. Well sure. Any southern entity that would consider an upgrade should think this is a good idea. Do you have a point? What do you mean by "Well, Uh-huh". I don't follow you, so I have no idea what your point might be when you say this.

"I'm running for governor because I know Mississippi can do better," said Presley. "We got a state filled with good people but horrible politicians and that includes our governor. Tate Reeves is a man with zero conviction and maximum corruption."

"The race for Mississippi's next governor has emerged as one of the higher-stakes elections this fall, and Republicans, who want to see Governor Tate Reeves re-elected to a second term, just received some not-so-welcome news that Democrat Brandon Presley's odds are improving.

A new internal poll from Presley's campaign claims the race is now tied, showing a steady increase for the Mississippi Public Service commissioner and a decline for Reeves. Every other poll released thus far has shown the governor leading, except for a February poll from Tulchin Research that showed Presley with the advantage.

A memo of the survey obtained by the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal shows that Presley's name recognition has shot up to 59 percent from the 25 percent of voters who said they recognized his name when he first started his campaign in January. Name recognition has been widely viewed as a hurdle for Presley, who is running against a veteran state politician, and who has been warned by his opponent that he wouldn't have a chance without building up his exposure.

The latest poll, which suggests that Presley has been able to do exactly that, intensifies Republican concerns that the race in the long-standing conservative state is becoming competitive. Presley, a second cousin of music icon Elvis Presley described as a moderate who holds conservative views on gun control and abortion, secured the Democratic nomination earlier this month after running unopposed."

If he wins, will he do a 'Thank you, thank you very much'?

What do you mean by "Well, Uh-huh".

i'm guessing that's an elvis reference?

 

[Intrigued42]

I'm sure it is, Butters! I get very tired of our citizens that support a candidate based on a name or a former career in entertainment, as though those credentials make one a good choice for leadership.

At the centre of politics, is popularity.

Can you imagine Donald Trump have getting elected President,if he didn't have a popular TV show?

People vote on feelings for the most part. If you recognise a name and associate that name with a good feeling. Chances are you will vote for that person, regardless of their specific policy stance.

What matters is getting rid of Tater.

And all 'Pubs in all offices.

 

[adrina]

Another Manchin. But reality is that in Mississippi, that's what it's going to take for a democrat to be electable.

You know, they did that in California.

Look at the overall tax rate.
Look at the homelessness rate.
Look at the crime rate.
Look at the inflation rate.
Look at the rate of home ownership.
Look at the rate of population growth.

Now ask yourself if that's better than the rates for those things in Republican led states.

Works for me .....

You're talking about a party who told the poorest people in Baltimore(and in a predominantly black area) that they should be proud to live in squalor because Trump commented no one in America should live that way. Imagine telling poor people to be proud of their poverty and the fact their kids have no future other than drugs and to be shot down by gangs...be proud of that.

Democrats, the racist slum lords of the US. Says a lot about their supporters

This totally misrepresents what Trump said and you know it. Or, if you don't know it, you need to figure it out before you hurt yourself.
