WAPT/16 coverage
WAPT had me and Harvey Johnson (former Jackson mayor) on for "political analysis" Tuesday evening.
A lot is said off-air as one might imagine.
Harvey is licking his chops to run against Melton in the next mayoral election. I said at least three times when asked by the anchors what the election meant for the current Mayor "Frank Melton loses." And I believe that in large measure because Sheriff Malcolm McMillin is still standing.
But in four years, expect to see Tyrone Lewis again and the Sheriff looking for some well-deserved rest.
Also expect DA Fay Peterson to fight hard for her political life in a run-off. Harvey Johnson seemed to intimate that she was probably safe. I am not so sure.

I watched the election coverage and listened to the show today and Matt said something profound and yet confusing. When commenting about Gary Anderson, he admitted that his color(black) would be a major problem for him being elected statewide in Mississippi. If that is such a blarring deficiency in Mississippi's morals, should not that be a major priority for the people with the bully pulpit? If Mississippi is still stuck on simple minded issues like that, it affects any and all other dynamics of the state.
