[Desk] Repubs Ross and Bryant Announce; Launch Dueling Web sites
Two Republicans, Sen. Charlie Ross of Brandon and State Auditor Phil Bryant, have both officially announced their campaigns to succeed Lt. Gov. Amy Tuck. On Charlie Ross’ campaign site, you quickly get the feeling that he is a one-issue kinda guy: stop lawsuit abuse, stop lawsuit abuse, stop lawsuit abuse, baby. He also admits, er, states on his site that he is a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council. More soon from the desk on ALEC?an organization that pushes for extremely right-wing legislation in statehouses across the country (and would summarily eject Ross were he ever to support public-education funding, we suspect). Ross, we are happy to report, does not have the Confederate part of the Mississippi flag flapping strategically over his shoulder as we’ve grown way too accustomed to seeing on Mississippi conservatives’ sites. That’s a plus.
For Phil Bryant’s part, hhis site is a less of a U.S. Chamber ad and more about the fact that he is running FOR THE RIGHT REASONS. (Get the pun?) In the announcement itself, we hear a lot more about the “right” values, but we don’t really learn what they are. Maybe that is to come in his blog that, so far, is a bunch of pictures. (So far, no blog on Ross’ site that we can find.) And no Rebel emblems here, either. Whew.
