I thought you could vote either party in a run-off. Am I unlearned in the run-off scenario?

You have to stick with the same party until the November general elections.

Well, I did vote for Lee Jarrell Davis.:clap::clap: I always look at experience in making my decisions. He also knows how to get funding and has connections in Jackson.

I also found out or was told when I do vote Republican or Democrat that I can only vote in a runoff based on that.

Now in the General Election, I can vote either since they are all on the same ballot.

Since, I'm an ex-candidate/politician/whatever, and in the mode of not caring what anyone thinks, here goes:

Chris Bowen did not meet the statutory requirement of 50 percent plus one vote to win without a run-off, and thus, LJD is entitled to his (second) "day in court" before the voters. He should have worked harder to earn those extra five votes, just as I should have worked harder to win the votes I needed to win.

The turnout will be markedly lower on August 28 in no small measure because of relatively few run-off races -- and none at the Statewide level. While I agree Bowen will be heavily favored, a Davis victory is by no means impossible here.

Thus, strategically I think Bowen made a mistake calling on Davis to concede, but who am I to talk?

Hmm, well, I don't see it the same way I guess. I would think Bowen looks at the request as a "what have I got to lose" question to Davis. Is it a shot in the dark? Yeah. I probably wouldn't have put it in the paper, just called him and asked.

Dale- I would think you would be more sensitive to Bowen than that! How many times is the Republican party going to let LJD crap on them? He outright waved them the finger after losing the nod in the last mayorial race, and now after getting beat almost 2-1 is going to force Bowen to go raise money from Republican sources that could be going to state races. In my opinion, LJD is the best Democrat on the ballot.

Well, I figure Bowen or his camp did. Bowen would have benefited the most from that publicity in his eyes. Also to put the pressure on Davis.

I think that was his tactic and/ or his camp's idea.

Bowen also said the other two candidates in the primary, Clyde M. Wakefield and Phillip White, told him they would support him in the runoff. Neither man could be reached for comment


This quote is the reason I believe Bowen went to the paper.. And this comment he shouldnt have made.. Let them say it not you and always remember candidates will lie to you..

Sounds like an intimidating, mind game on Bowen's part or he hasn't learned to let others speak their own support. Now, I am beginning to wonder if those 2 Wakefield and White said they would support or Bowen said they said it.

If you are confused, join the club after reading that article.:smt103

I think Bowen put the cart before the horse in calling the HA on this one. He must have thought that LJD would just roll over and concede. It also turns out that Bowen LIED about having the support of Wakefield and White - a claim that both men deny and are PO'd about reading it in the paper.

If Bowen has this big of an ego as a candidate, imagine how big of an A-hole he'll be as an elected official!

B.T., Are you talking about the Bowen statement that The 2 (Wakefield and White) running against Bowen and Davis said they would support Bowen?

I don't know the truth yet. I do find it strange that theyWakefield and White) have not come forward themselves to state their support for Bowen. That's usually what people do when they want to show support.

Also, the Hattiesburg American could not get them from that article. I guess the only was I will know they support Bowen is when I hear them say it or be quoted by Hattiesburg American.

Or you could ask them yourself.( Wakefield and White):confused:

No, I'm talking about the trumpofhubcity statement that the two men were PO'd. He wants to bash Bowen for lying because Wakefield and White did not state their intentions to the HA, yet trump is just as careless with stating facts that have not been presented to the public. However, you are correct that the only two not talking are Wakefield and White.

Thanks, I will have a good weekend.

With all due respect, I am not sure what the facts are about them suporting Bowen, until I hear it from them.( Wakefield and White). I would be pissed off if someone was lying about me. I am not saying anyone is until I hear it from them.(Wakefield and White).

Maybe it is all an innocent misunderstanding or just politics.

Well, If there are other "run-offs" that will be on the ballot then I don't see how it would possibly cost the tax-payers anymore money to have two little names printed on a ballot. On the other hand I can see Bowen's point in trying to get it over with. It doesn't look like L.J. Davis will be able to win and it is only going to prolong the agony of defeat. At least if he were to concede then it would spare Davis the expense of running a runoff election campaign and spare him the stress of the polling day activities and the inevitability of near certain defeat.

This is just my opinion and I'm not saying either one is right. I'm only saying that I can see the point of both candidates.

I agree, this strategy appears faulty to me too. While understanding that there's nothing in my opinion that should indicate it is EVERYONE ELSES' opinion, I have to believe this hurt Chris.

I've not seen any follow up from LJD, but would love to see him respond intelligently and strongly in no small part because of the principle TDBeavers alluded to. (snicker)

It was ballsy. And unflattering. I'd vote for LJD too...in spite of RSJ's full page endorsement. This was arrogant and stupid.

For the record, my opinion counts for ZERO since I don't live in that district. I voted for TDBeavers (who, by-the-way, won't return my phone calls...)

Is Chris Bowen serious? I wonder how is attitude will be as a forrest county supervisor? Sunday HA Story (http://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070826/NEWS01/708260314/1002)


Davis, who gave up a seat in the state House of Representatives to run for supervisor, said he believes many people think Bowen asking him to concede would be looked upon as arrogant.

"I never had any idea I would concede," said Davis. "I feel good. I feel strong. I feel like people are looking at me as a strong candidate."
Bowen said he too has been campaigning throughout the Brooklyn, Maxie and Carnes communities where he believes he has generated enough support to take the runoff.

"If I can get the voters who supported me before to show up on Tuesday, I'll win," said Bowen. "I didn't think it was arrogant when I came to his house and told him I had the support of both of the other candidates and only a five-vote difference," said Bowen. "If that's arrogant, then maybe he doesn't need this job."

I don't know where you found that info about Davis' motivation. I heard it was to serve the people of District 5 with his experience and knowing where to find funding for Forrest County. Davis already has state retirement from the legislature and what is wrong with looking at a job's benefits? We all do.

I know one thing from knowing some supervisors. You will never find a job with more requests at all times of the day and night. Davis knows that part and can work with people.

LJD may have enough "years" for state retirement but he does not have a good "4-yr high" in the state retirement system.

Supervisor would take care of that for him. Otherwise, why isn't he just staying in the House of Rep?

House makes about appx. $12,000/yr, and aren't Forrest Supervisor at about $50,000? This would be a major improvement in his retirement pay after 4 yrs.

I think supervisor is around $45,000 and I am unsure of a stat rep's pay at this time.

Chris may have higher ambitions and this county elected official thing may just be his political springboard. I really don't know, I'm just saying "maybe" but I certainly won't rule out asking him when I see him. I ain't skeered to get an answer... maybe after the runoff and too late to make a difference but it will be an answer just the same.

So, a political springboard leaving a $100,000 job that could only get better or not. So a stepping stone and he hasn't even got the position and he maybe has planned his political advancement or career already. Ambitious, huh? I have been hearing that around.

Wonder if he will enjoy working for the people and serving them? Have to work WITH people. Can't rule them all, but work with them.

What political positions could pay that much and him make the $100,000 without political experience? Even a U.S.House of Representative makes that + one-half that and they have to raise funds every 2 yrs. and run?

In all fairness, the Pat Harrison job does not pay $100k; closer to $70. Still a considerable cut, but the difference is part-time verses full-time.

In all fairness, the Pat Harrison job does not pay $100k; closer to $70. Still a considerable cut, but the difference is part-time verses full-time.

I am still applyin' even at 70k!:smt023

B.T. I still stand by what I said after checking my facts again. the Pat Harrison executive director pays $80,000 in salary and then $22,000 in benefits. So, $102,000 is still it.

Go for it FishBait.

Did Bowen screw the pooch by asking Davis to concede and putting it in the paper before he got an answer? A lot of people I've talked to think it was incredibly arrogant and un-statesmanlike. He's going to get smoked down in South Forrest County but the test will be to see how much of his city vote turns out today.

Doesn't look like it now, does it? In fact, now the story can be told that it was Davis who told the paper.

Bobby Chain is proud tonight.

Can't imagine that a$$hole ever being proud of anything other than himself. Still not sure what it has to do with this race!

Reports are on Secretary of State's website in "Elections" section. They are "slow" to get posted at times. The first primary stuff is probably already there.

Here is the info: I got this from secretary of state website.




Campaign finance reports from candidates for countywide and county-district office are filed with the circuit clerk's office of the appropriate county, and hard copies of those reports may be viewed in their offices.

I checked and do appreciate the info Augustus McRae. I remember there are also deadlines where info can be lagged.

but in terms of county here's what I found. Who is going to circuit clerk's office?
