Sorry for the length of this. I know most of you guys probably won't take the time to read it.
The folks have spoken and Camp is out. He has still done a lot of great things at City Hall even if all you rentees think he is a lousy landlord and don't like his kids. There is still an election coming up in less than two weeks that's very important to all of us who care about Starkvegas. We have a snake left on the ballot. At my house at least, we shoot snakes.
First, remember only those who voted in the first primary are eligible to vote in the run-off. Cox and Wiseman will be vying for those as well as trying to get their folks out again. The kicker he is that they both need the Camp voters. Will they vote for someone who has been running for mayor from his alderman seat for almost four years, voting against everything Dan tried to do for the city or will they vote for a young man who is proud of being a product of this community and seems to have only honorable intentions even if it is to run for higher office some day? At least Parker will have our interests at heart whether it is from the mayor's office, DC or Jackson. This is one Camp voter who thinks it is a nobrainer and I bet most of the others feel the same way. Wiseman has my vote.
All I have to say is that I hope all you Wiseman supporters are registered to vote in Starkville and have many, many family members and friends who are, too. Give him money and ask all your law school classmates and folks ya'll knew at State to give him money. The big money won't be there for Cox since folks who have the big money see right through this lying jack-***. Parker may be a <span style="font-weight: bold;">(1b violation)</span> but he is a decent <span style="font-weight: bold;">(1b violation)</span> who has a lot of character. The potential is there for him to do a good job as mayor if he is open to asking for help when he needs it. Also, if I were Parker, I would lose the poverty rate speech. Not the time or place and the stats he is using to back it up are way too soft.
This run-off will be all about turnout. I don't know if a 72 Hour blitz like the one Wiseman put on this time is enough to put him over the top. On the other hand, generally, the person leading the ticket in a situation like this has gotten all the votes he is going to get. The door to door effort by Wiseman and Co. was very effective. As soon as the rain lets up, they need to hit the streets again.
Oh, did I remember to say what a low-life, lying, two-faced, slimeball Cox is? Look into why he left Internationl Paper in Memphis and who he left behind in Cordova. IP - the only job he ever had...... Did he leave willingly or was he fired? When you run for office, do you have to give a reason why you left your last position? If he is so f***ing smart with his degree in economics from UVA (I've heard that when you wash out of UVA's School of Business, they give you a degree in Econ), with as many folks as MSU employs, why isn't he working out there somewhere? He has family members out on the campaign trail saying that he needs a j-o-b so please vote for him! Have you looked at how much the mayor makes? A hellluva lot less than us I bet. Why is Cox willing to settle for that?
A lot of unanswered questions.......
