Trent Lott leaving to cash in?

My how cynical you are Desh.

I heard that he is quitting so he has more time to donate to Meals on Wheels, which he not only contributes great big loads of cash too, but he also personally delivers many of the meals.
 
O God.

Please don't tell me we're going to have pickering for a senator. Please. Please God, just come down, strike the man down, before he can damage the senate with his putrid presence.

You guys do know, don't you, that if Haley Barbour can appoint Pickering, he's senator for life? And he's only fifty. He'll probably live until he's 150.

Just so long as he is gone. Maybe the Mississippi gub'ner will appoint himself Senator

Haley Barbour deperately wants to be senator. He ran in the 80's and Stennis, who although not perfect was the best senator Mississippi ever had, creamed him. Barbour is a pig, and he threw one of the slimiest campaigns ever, but it availed him not.

Haley Barbour would be better than Pickering though. Please, someone, just kill Pickering.
 
If Haley Barbour appoints Pickering, Pickering will be seen as an incumbent and have tremendous leverage in the 2008 race which will pick his successor. Micheal Moore, one of the state's most popular politicians, may very well run against him, but Mississippi backs incumbents nearly 100% of the time. That's why our congressional team is usually so powerful for it's small size, because of the seniority system, and the fact that we send the same people back every time no matter what.

If we're very lucky, Micheal Moore will pick up the seat in 2008, and Gene Taylor will pick up Cochran's seat in 2010 (whenever Cochran too, possibly, retires). Then Mississippi would again have a Dem senate team. But that is EXTREMELY optimistic thinking.

But that's about as likely as a Mississippi fairy tale where Ray Maybus comes out of retirment and wins the governers seat once more in 2011.
