MS-01: Cheney Arrives; It’s Our Turn to Fight Back

The Hill reports that Darth Cheney himself is about to land in Mississippi to scare some votes for slimeball GOP candidate Greg Davis:

Cheney appeared on “The Paul Gallow Show” to support Southaven Mayor Greg Davis (R).

Davis faces Prentiss County Chancery Clerk Travis Childers (D) on May 13 in a runoff election in the state’s 1st district, a seat formerly held by Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.).

“This seat is a very important one,” Cheney said. “It’s been in conservative hands for a long time, and we’d hate to see the liberals gain control.”

The vice president said holding the seat is crucial because it could tip the scales in close votes on Capitol Hill.

Cheney will be on the ground in Mississippi on Monday for a fundraiser and a GOTV rally with Davis.

It’s time to step up to the battle, folks.  We can’t let the forces of darkness cling on to this one.  To that end, the DCCC has set up a virtual phonebanking center for Travis Childers.  Getting started is as easy as cherry pie.  You’ve donated, you’ve followed the news, you’ve tracked the expenditures, and if your name is Trent Thompson, you’ve canvassed on the ground.  Now’s your chance to help hustle out the vote for Travis Childers.

A win here would utterly crush the spirit of the House GOP caucus and signify and loud and clear appetite for change in Washington.  Let’s do this thing!

Also, be sure to check back with SSP on election day on Tuesday.  We’ll be posting updates and liveblogging the election that evening.

Special election: 5/13.

  1. As many of y’all know, one of the sticking points for the good folks of th 1st district is that Greg Davis, in addition to his other shortcomings, is basically the mayor of a Memphis suburb with much more connection to that city than to the rest of Northeast Mississippi.

    And Mississippians want to be represented by a, you know, a Mississippian, not an all-but-Memphian.

    So anyway, today on the Gallow show (by way of Cotton Mouth), there was this exchange:

    Q: Monday you are going to be here — on Monday — in the state of Mississippi, and Greg Davis will be there, and you’ll be in Senatobia, Hernando, and that area?

    THE VICE PRESIDENT: Yes, I think we are going to be. I’m not sure exactly. It’s going to be someplace in the First District. I’m not sure exactly what part of it. South Memphis or —

    Q: Don’t worry about it.

    THE VICE PRESIDENT: Southaven, in Southaven.

    As even a blind pig can find an acorn, eventually, even the lyingest liars sometimes speak the truth. Albeit inadvertently.  

  2. the single BEST thing for travis childers in ms-01, is for greg davis to be tied to the BUSH/CHENEY administration(#1 current issue, failinge economy;#2 current issue, iraq war); add to this the rural makeup of the district, and the promised seat for childers on the house agriculture committee
