At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other “prognosticators” who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long.
They’re only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when they’re wrong. One of their “analysts” was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when he’s never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.

Mississippi Senate race. Spoiler in the race: Ty Pinkins. Originally ran as a Dem, lost, then flipped & ran as an Independent. Folks asked why he didn’t drop out and throw his votes to Colom. Pinkins said he was siphoning votes from Repub candidate. Colom’s twin says NOPE. 👇🏾

Jerry Stackhouse used to sing the national anthem before NBA games.
As fans put it on the web, “I had no idea Stackhouse had pipes like that.” or “My boy sang in church”
Stack turns 52 today. From Kinston and UNC to the No. 3 pick in 1995, he became a two-time NBA All-Star.
