In other news, Haley Barbour is running an excellent campaign, going hard after black votes and black support:

Hey, thanks for posting that great link to your post about Barbour trying to attract black votes. That's the news I've been waiting to hear!

I'm glad he signed Darryl Neely on to his campaign. I wondered what happened to him after he lost the Jackson mayoral campaign not too long ago. I always liked that guy.

I loved this quotation from him (Neely):
You don’t need the black vote to win, but you do need black support to govern. We don’t want Barbour to be governor and 37 percent of the voters have no connection with him.

That's the truth, and it's a shame that it has taken MS GOPers this long to learn this lesson!
