A gambling referendum?
The lieutenant governor's race in Mississippi looks to be taking on a pro- vs. anti-gambling twist. In a debate on AFR's Mississippi Connection state senator Charlie Ross did everything he could to dodge the "Is gambling moral?" inquiry while state auditor Phil Bryant noted, quite forcefully, that it was indeed immoral.
Ross, apparently, intends to use those words of Bryant's.
This campaign will get nasty, soon, and it will be over any issue that gets traction for Ross who is reportedly significantly behind in campaign polls. Since there is not much that separates these two, look for this issue of gambling to be one area where Ross plays his pro-gambling hand strong where it counts the most...like the Coast.
Phil Bryant is likely concerned like a man with a double digit lead should be, but he is probably not ready to start running scared. At the end of the day he is betting that Mississippi still doesn't want it's Senate leader beholden to gambling interests.
And that is a good bet.

Why is gambling immoral?
Why do you think gambling should be illegal?
Why should I not be allowed to do what I wish with MY hard earned money?
Why should you, the Government, or anyone for that matter, tell me what to do with MY hard earned money?
For a great amount of information on this topic, go to http://www.afams.net/gambling.html
You'll learn why gambling is immoral. Also, look at who the gamblers are supporting for state office. It's interesting.
