Check out Obama's coat-tails in Mississippi!
Edited on Tue Nov-04-08 03:34 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
REPUBLICAN Senate candidate Roger Wicker sent out this sample ballot implying he's a Democrat. Vote Obama! Vote Wicker!

4. I think they were ID'd by D or R.
I voted for Musgrove, and knew he is the "D" but I can't recall for sure seeing it on the ballot.

3. Great--Nobody knows who he is, so he endorses THREE Black Democrats, including
the opponent of his colleague Thad Cochran.

Democrats should have reprinted and circulated this in predominantly white Republican areas! Although probably many remember that former governor Ronnie Musgrove is a Democrat, they certainly wouldn't want to vote for anyone (Senate appointee Wicker) associated with THREE Black photos on other ballot lines.

5. Actually, it looks like a Puke dirty trick
A flyer, maybe, distributed in heavy Dem precincts. Every other candidate on there is a Dem, so maybe WickerMan is trying to trick D's into voting for him.
