Awesome! When are the polls closing, please? 8 pm?
7pm
Hey, it's a tie!
*pause*
Oh. That's 0-0 before the precincts have reported, right...?
right on Tom, i added the precints
Off to a good start. Where are the first seventeen precincts located, please? And what does that tell you?
60-40 Childers! Man, is this really going to happen?!
Is Desoto County (?) a Republican stronghold?
desoto is southave and went 10,000-2,000 approx for Davis last go round.
Childers won Yalobusha today, but lost it last time around.
picked up 200 in Alcorn, 20 in Union
this looks good from what I can tell...he's winning counties that he lost last time...and we haven't counted prentiss county yet
Looking good. 6 counties have yet to report any results...Childers won 5 of them last time, including base Prentiss. DeSoto almost all in and the race is 50-50.
Travis has after 3/15 85% of the votes in Prentiss.
3 more of Prentiss came in and raised Travis' percentage to 86%.
Dear Cotton Mouth,
Many congratulations, and thank you for sharing these election returns! They were tough to find on TV (all eyes were on West Virginia, of course). You are the cat's meow.
We'll be posting about this race on our blog, http://www.mycatsaredemocrats.blogspot.com/. And doing lots of purring!
Yay! I found your blog while looking for the election results. It's a pleasure to meet another Mississippi liberal. Sometimes I've felt like the only one in the blogosphere.
Wonderful news about Childers. I'm pleased as punch to see so many of my fellow voters had the same reaction to the constant barrage of anti-Childers media, mailings, and phone calls as I did -- revulsion for those who sent them.
A new era dawns across the South thanks to the excellent work of folks like you. Our message works EVERYWHERE, who would've thunk it?
Thanks for all the kind words. Now we have to celebrate, then recharge and come back swinging for Childers and Musgrove in Novemeber.
Guys...as someone who's been part of MS politics for the last 16 years, i've NEVER seen such a good job done with our politics (and i've seen some GOOD work). you're all commended for the work you do. i cannot say enough good things about your work and have linked you to my site with GRATUITOUS credit.
THANK YOU.
As a Memphian who is lucky to call Steve Cohen not only my congressman but my friend as well, I know what it means to have someone who represents your values in Congress.
I want to offer my congratulations to Travis and to all of you for all the hard work you put in on this momentous win.
