Denson/Martin Rumors and Analysis

- Phillip Martin is close with Haley Barbour. This was not a major factor in the election.

- Phillip Martin used Haley Barbour's professional political consultants.

- Beasley Denson used used True Blue which is a Democratic political consulting group.

- This was the dirtiest campaign for the office of Chief since at least the beginning of Phillip Martin's reign.

- Phillip Martin insisted that Beasley Denson had the support of groups (like casinos) that are opposed to a Choctaw casino in Jackson County.

- Opponents should not see this as a victory because Phillip Martin who was pushing for the Casino had pledged to drop the issue if voters turned it down in a referendum. Beasley Denson has not made such a pledge
