NRA Chooses Ross

From the press release:
"It is an honor to be endorsed by one of the most effective grassroots organizations in the country," Charlie Ross said. "I am proud to have defended freedom my entire adult life-first as an Air Force pilot and then as a State Senator writing laws that defend our Second Amendment rights.

"As a gun owner, I don't take our Second Amendment Rights for granted," Ross added. "I have been proud to fight for this Constitutional right in the Senate."
....
"Law-abiding gun owners in Mississippi have a true friend in Charlie Ross," Cox said. "We are pleased to endorse him in this primary because we know that, if elected lieutenant governor, Senator Ross will continue to protect the Second Amendment as an individual right with as much strength and vigor as he has in the Mississippi State Legislature."

I'd heard rumors of this and now they are proven true.

So it's the Realtors, Home Builders, and Don Wildmon (AFA) vs. Mississippi Right To Life and the NRA. I wonder if any of the groups will make an independent expenditure.

  1. Thanks for stopping by the Biz Buzz.

    I couldn't find anything about Ronnie English on your site. Is that because you haven't had a chance to get to him or there is nothing out there to write about him?

  2. If by Ronnie English you mean the guy who is going to get steamrolled by Chaney, there just hasn't been any news. He hasn't raised money and he hasn't gone to events it doesn't look like he's trying.

  3. If that is the case, who do you think Chaney is going to go up against in the general election?

  4. I think Gary Anderson will manage to win the primary and I don't think Chaney will be as strong in the general as pundits (i.e. Salter) would have us believe.

    Though Dale is up with his advertising financed by over 100,000 in insurance campaign contributions I still think that Republicans will opt for the Republican ballot this year due to the Lt. Gov. race and to a lesser extent the S.O.S. race. Democrats haven't forgotten the Bush endorsement or his siding with the insurance companies and Dale will be defeated.
