2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI live in Mississippi and I am so fed up with pre-primary robo-calls I could hurl....
For four days now they've been rolling in, one after another. Most hang up after triggering our answering machine but I have had the opportunity to personally hang up on Willard Mittington Romney's call twice and the Newster once. Sadly the Santorum calls never hang in long enough to leave a message. Guess he prefers to pull out before climaxing-a poor strategy for both campaigns and birth control.
On the plus side, I get to vote tomorrow for a good Democratic congressman in the primary, Bennie Thompson, minority head of the Intelligence Committee. Also, I get a chance to vote for a good friend and neighbor who's running for a position on our city board of alderman (the incumbent died last winter). My friend the candidate is a social liberal/economic conservative (the best you can hope for in Mississippi) who could help restore sanity on a city council that in sad shape. One of his main opponents is the current mayor's wife. Gonna be an interesting night here in Mississippi for sure.

(111,277 posts)I keep hoping it's mostly over by then, but the Democratic primaries are shaping up to be pretty obnoxious with "socially conservative Democrats" coming out of the woodwork for a couple of the offices.
