This is a private poll, to determine how people plan to vote for the upcoming US Congressional elections.

Given the makeup of this community, I'd say you're going to get results badly skewed toward "Other."

If other is selected over the dems and reps then the libs will not gain any seats in the house or senate. Dixie you should have two "others" there, a regular other and a I HATE BUSH other.

I'm going to vote for Bob Casey for democrat for Senate primarily because I greatly dislike Santorum.

I'm not sure who I will vote for the House. Last time I voted for the Libertarian canidate. May do the same again this time. The R and D candidate aren't especially appealing but aren't especially repelling either.

I plan to vote by absentee ballot, as I have done for the past four or five years.

How do you plan to vote?

I plan to go down to the fire station, where my precinct is, and cast my vote before going to work, like I always do. :cof1:

If I were to vote (I gain that privilidge 2 months after the election, so no, I won't), I'd vote Gene Taylor back in. I hate both of the Demopublicans running for the senate race. I'd probably just throw my hat in with the unwinnable libertarian, who's the only libertarian who seems to be running in the entire damn state, it seems (libertarians aren't big in Mississippi).

Holy freak...

I just looked at the report showing how much money each candidate has raised.

Erik Fleming, the Democrat, has 20,000. Trent Lott has 2 million.

Harold Taylor has nothing.

And what does that tell you.....?

Where did Lott get the 2 million from? Who are the BIG donors, do you know?

He's an incumbent. He's also rich, and from the richest part of the state (my part, the southern portion). Erik Fleming, on the other hand, comes from the poorass Delta, and he's not an incumbent (which means that he hasn't been building up senate-level campaign funds for 12 years like Lott).

I guess it really doesn't matter that much. Even if Erik Fleming had 2 million, he couldn't win. He's a socialist, and has had a relationship with Lyndon Larouche in the past. He only won with the 15% of Mississippi voters who are Democrats... and almost all of them are liberal blacks who make very little difference in a general election.

Can you do that? Accumilate 12 years worth of funds and hold on to them election after election?

It doesn't start at square one, each new election cycle?

If that is really the case then a newbie will NEVER win? :(

No, once you get elected at that level donations become larger regardless of party.
