Primaries

In honor of all the attention is receiving because of the primaries today, I'm pointing y'all to my post, The Democrats Love Us Now!.

There's a lot of people who like Obama. They like his plans for a transparent government. They like his message of hope and change. Hillary Clinton's message is shrill and her derogatory comments about Mississippi have not been forgotten.

Neither has the fact that it is 2 1/2 years after Hurricane Katrina hit and not one major Democratic politician has visited the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Even with all the campaigning by Hillary and Obama, neither has visited Gulfport, Biloxi, Bay St Louis, Pass Christian, Moss Point, Escatawpa, Pascagoula, Lakeshore, or any of the other Coastal cities heavily damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Oh well, the Mississippi Gulf Coast is largely Republican, no need to really see and understand what is needed for rebuilding. Move along, nothing to see here.

There may be a surprise in store for McCain though. There were 5 Ron Paul supporters at the beach urging people to vote for him!

Okay, okay. So McCain hasn't paid the Mississippi Gulf Coast a visit either. But he didn't hypocritically criticize President Bush and as far as I know, hasn't made any derogatory comments about Mississippi. Neither has Obama and I think that may give him the edge over Hillary.
