In less than 24 hours we should have a clear picture of the final two from the Republican party who'll be vying to replace Chip Pickering ... OK, who am I kidding. We could literally have to wait this one out for a while if the votes are as close as we think they'll be. It may be more like tomorrow afternoon before we really know the final two.
Our very own Jennifer Jacob will be following Gregg Harper, John Rounsaville, David Landrum and Charlie Ross in Jackson tonight. She will even attempt to blog while chasing all the candidates through the night as they watch returns. We'll soon see what impact Jerry Mitchell's (Clarion Ledger) investigative report on Landrum's voting record had on this race. And there's no doubt this race has HUGE implications for our area. Chip Pickering followed in the footsteps of G.V. Sonny Montgomery as a friend to East Mississippi, particularly in the fight for our military bases. You can simply look at the time spent by each candidate in this area for an idea of what East Mississippi means to this race. Several candidates even went as far as saying, "this race will be won in East Mississippi." Can't wait to see who our final two will be.
