Who will the Democratic candidate for governor of MS be in 2011?

And do we have a chance to win that seat back when Haley Barbor is term limited out.

1. A lot of us thought that Jim Hood

would run, but he's taken himself out. I can't say that I blame him; Bryant will be tough to beat. I'm guessing it will be someone relatively unknown, like a North Mississippi lawyer or legislator. It might be good to have a fresh face. Anyway, I have some family who are well connected in the state party. Next time I talk to one of them I'll ask them if anybody's been chosen yet and I'll post their answer here.

2. Haley Barbour - Poster Child For Term Limits.

3. Now I'm afraid he might be our next Senator

after Cochran retires. Barbour is a snake.

4. I hope not...

He's always seemed to have his eye on the White House. It simply didn't occur to me that he may become our senator. I do not understand this man's popularity.

6. There is a lot of talk about him and the White House, but

that is so out of his league IMO. He would have a chance as Senator though.

5. Johnny DuPree, the mayor of Hattiesburg,

has announced. DuPree is Hattiesburg's first black mayor. Another possible Democratic candidate is Bill Luckett, a lawyer from Clarksdale. I was told that it's still too early to tell who will be the nominee. http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20100421/NEWS/100420062/1001/NEWS
