It even didn't work in the Mississippi 1st, which is the most
conservative district IN Mississippi.
The problem of the GOP cocksuckers is that no one--other than the 19

Obama 53% to Grampa's 41%
If that continues to hold true you clowns are going to get massacred.
Best of all, there is nothing you can do about it.
