Taylor is a VERY erratic individual. He won't be winning anything statewide. Chip Pickering will be the next Senator.
Suppose it was Taylor and Pickering in a statewide race (it could be next year, though something tells me Lott won't retire, cause he's about got invincibility and he has old scores to settle)
But back to Taylor v. Pickering, explain to me, if all things are equal, how would Pickering make up for the huge defections in the coastal counties that Taylor's running would cause
Because in Mississippi, if you're a Democrat, you have to get enough votes in the Delta and North Mississippi to cancel out eastern and coastal/southern Mississippi.
Taylor running screws up that dichotomy, so how exactly would Pickering make it up, regionally speaking?
Please let Trent Lott retire. Or better yet, resign in mid-term so that Governor Haley Barbour can appoint his replacement. His performance as Majority Leader was a joke!
Chip Pickering will represent the state just fine. I agree that Gene Taylor would be a formidible candidate, but believe he's too volitile to actually win, barring a serious gaffe by Pickering.
Yep...should Trent not run,
Chip is the "go to" guy.
But, Trent will run.
Right now he's being a drama queen.
Maybe he's behaving this way to call
attention to the plight of others.
No...my name is not Pollyanna...
Well, maybe, sometimes it is. ;o)
