Campaign FOOD FIGHT!!!

Can we get some adults in this campaign?  PLEASE??? Check out this Twitter fight between Jordan Russell and Keith Plunkett. Mr. Russell is the spearcatcher, I mean Communications Director for the Thad Cochran campaign while Mr. Plunkett is the genius, um, make that Policy Director for the Chris McDaniel campaign.  Entertaining for us but seriously, two officials in U.S. Senate campaigns getting into it online? If there is an example of the problems with BOTH of these campaigns, these screen shots are it. 


 The truth is both campaigns have been poorly managed and shown a lack of discipline.  This tweetspat is just the latest manifestation of the theme of campaign.  No surprise when one campaign manager is a known bully and the other has never run a campaign prior to this one.  Want to make this more interesting? RedalertMississippi is Rick Sager.  So both campaigns are tweeting back and forth with Red Alert.  Hmmm..... let the conspiracy nuts on both sides have fun with that one.

Cochran's campaign is lashing out. Yesterday morning there was a spat started by Henry Barbour unleashed upon a breitbart.com journalist. Barbour was very unprofessional...He started the name calling and didn't respond to questions by the journalist. Instead, he continued to name call. *SMH*

The Greenwood Commonwealth endorsed Cochran in today's paper. Will be interested to see of the other Wyatt Emmerich-owned papers follow suit.

Plunkett is crazy as shit! In Tuesday's election Cochran will win! And Plunkett's candidate will come up on the "short end" - just like he did when he worked for Billy Hewes when he ran for Lt. Gov - who was "short sighted" on campaign issues!

Chris McDaniel is on target with his platform and the issues our country is currently facing. If I am wrong why won't Thad debate Chris today? I do not know a Mississippian who is happy with the state of our country's government. Any incumbent who has served for years and hasn't fought to reign in the government should not be given any more political power.

The time for change has arrived for the betterment and prosperity of our country. I have faith that McDaniel will make a positive difference for our country's health and welfare.

That's very interesting that the anti cronyism Emmerich would endorse the cronies' own candidate.

11:48 am grow up... Congressional incumbents don't debate the wannabes and all but the politically naïve know that.

And, yeah, you probably were a Thad supporter but only because you would never vote for a Democrat.

Do you think we are as gullible and dumb as you apparently are?

This is the worst managed, most poorly planned, most unprofessional campaign by both candidates I've ever witnessed.

If your candidate isn't a charming sociopath, he's doing a great imitation of one!

So I've got a choice between a sociopath and a doddering old man in the primary. What a deal!

Other than his hometown paper (I assume enough people in Ellisville read to justify a weekly rag), I'd be surprised if McDaniel receives a single endorsement. If he does, I'd appreciate someone posting here and letting us know.

I think its funny how both sides now have "geeks" to monitor social media sites and to "hit back" every time something pops up.

Like it matters.

Thad will win this despite outside forces spending literally millions of dollars to unseat him.

The actual residents of MS should be angry that their representative has been abused by so called "Republicans."

McDaniel is dangerous folks....as dangerous as that fool Ted Cruz and the person who single handedly caused the Rs to lose the Presidency, Sarah Palin.

I am so very tired of the DEBATE QUESTION!!! Why will Thad Cochran not debate Chris McDaniel? - The answer is simple: Why would you get in a pissing contest with a skunk????

Plunkett is not a genius, he is a little boy trying to amuse himself and a few of the flock while his ole lady pays the bills!

If Thad makes it through the primary I am voting for the Democratic candidate. Time for a change in Washington.

You thad supporters are showing your true colors. You are aligning yourselves with the liberal lefties because name calling is all you can do. You cant do much else.

Why cant you all bring in facts instead of slamming the other side like Obama supporters do against Conservatives?

Your side lacks class to debate and you are a prime example of your Cochran team.

I feel sorry for you and your Cochran team.

1:27 I feel sorry for any and all of you McDaniel supporters who are gullible enough to believe everything you are "spoon-fed" by that camp. But, sometimes you have to get burned to understand the fire is hot!!!!

Thank you little sweet 8-lb baby Jesus that we vote in less than 48 hours. This madness will soon be over.

Thad was politicking with Greg Harper at Crossgates Baptist Church this morning. He seemed pretty feeble,bless his heart.

OMG Please make it stop! My mail box is full of election crap, my phone rings constantly with celebrity and political endorsements along with endless polls. I can't wait to hear "Merry Christmas" then maybe it will be over.

JJ does keep me laughing and calm from time to time.

Calm
and
VOTE

5:42 PM, Thad can't go anywhere without one of his handlers propping him up.

Oh GREAT...just got a robo call from " Governor Sarah Palin" for McDaniel.
Wonder how much money she got for that?!
And wonder if she knows jack about Chris or ever met him until she got paid?
Love how all these outsiders are nosing into our business.

Thanks for Playing! said...

Love how all these outsiders are nosing into our business.

Like the US Chamber of Commerce's Thad-love? Does that piss you off?

I accidentally deleted this comment by Pug.


Pugnacious has left a new comment on your post "Who is Chris McDaniel?":

An event this morning around 11:10a.m., north of Hattiesburg at the intersection of Pep's Point Road and HiWay 49, in no way reflects on McDaniel's qualifications for holding public office. However, his handlers need to know of the reckless manner of his campaign bus driver, endangering his staff and the driving public.

As I was driving the speed limit in the right lane on N49 north of Hattiesburg, I passed by the McDaniel Campaign bus that was attempting to pull out onto N49. Half-a-minute later I looked into the rear view mirror--at a distance of approximately 100 yards from the intersection of Pep's Point Road and N49--and was surprised that the bus was approaching at a fast rate of speed(70+ mph)as the traffic light was already showing caution. I braked and stopped at the light, as I had intended to exit right to travel to Mack's Fish Camp for lunch. After the traffic signal light had already turned red, approximately five(5) seconds later the bus "blew by" me in the passing lane through the intersection. This intersection was one of those MDOT-designed death traps that are so common across Mississippi;the intersection--accessing Pep's Point Water Park and Mack's Fish Camp-- had been the scene of many deaths and injuries for over 30-years, before the installation of the traffic signal

Wow! People in MS haven't seen Republicrat Cochran in forever and at least McDaniel has him coming to speak to us! The latest is that he showed up at Crossgates Baptist Church.

Harper wants that senate chair badly, huh? Keep up the work. Maybe it will pay off for you or Tate Reeves in a couple years.

McDaniels bus driver apparently has the same respect for rules/law/protocol as the rest of his supporters.

If Cochran had a decent campaign manager, this would not be a contest. Given how bad Cochran's campaign has been managed, if McDaniel had a decent campaign manager he could have pulled this off. #circularargument

IRS/political activity/church's tax exempt status

How is it that "Thad was politicking with Gregg Harper at Crossgates Baptist church this morning"? Is Harper a member and, on a whim, Thad just decided to visit said church?

I heard CMs campaign manager was POd that she had to take a backseat to Sara Palin last week. She takes a backseat to no woman with CM. Everybody knows that.

7:24 pm Not as much since 1) we have that organization in MS and 2) they aren't being paid to interfere.
But, yes, I do think outsiders ought to be banned from messing in the local and state politics of states in which they don't reside.
If a candidate can't raise enough money or enthusiasm from his own who know him best, perhaps there's a reason for that.

If you read the last months worth of flames, its no wonder so much of the country hesitates to vote republican.

Has social media turned people into idiots, or does it just reveal that so many people are in fact idiots?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug.
