Running as a (D) in Mississippi statewide? Not so much, no (2007 was 58-42, 2003 was 53-46).

Whitey likes Johnny, though. He's got a pretty good shot.

I'm voting for him. If I win, I get a new mayor (YAY!) and I get a non-fascist governor.

Johnny's got a hell of a deficit to make up.

"Bryant already has majority support against either [Johnny] DuPree (56-25) or Luckett (53-27)."
