Reaction in Mississippi to the debate mess

[Godhumor]

“I feel like sending a text message to Barack Obama,” said Ruth Schiele-Moore, the manager of a 50-unit hotel in Batesville, half an hour from Oxford, where the debate will be held.

Her hotel is booked solid for the weekend, as are most hotels and motels in the area. She said she would like to send Obama a text message that reads:

“Come on down here. You just may win Mississippi.”

1. I'm a Mississippi resident and she just may be right

With a little help we might send a (D) Senator to Washington as well. McCain is causing an economic hardship on a state which does not need one.

If McInsane skates turn it into a town hall!

3. I think I'd grin ear-to-ear

if Obama went down there and held a 90 minute, nationally-televised Q&A session.

5. Six Electoral College Votes, not a bad haul for one night's work.

Not a bad gamble, and it's the best thing to do for the other 532 votes, too!

6. They better not try and

keep Obama from Mississippi!

7. I'd love to see Obama get a wild welcome while McCain gets only tepid applause

9. BossHog said that 3,000 rooms have been booked- Think of the economy

But he should still head down there.

12. McKillingLocalEconomies?

I think we're getting close here.

13. Obama should go

I think he'd look like a wimp not to, and Mississippians would be pissed and disappointed.

Obama should go and proudly hold the floor with a picture of Senator No-Show at his podium.
