Piecing the Puzzle of Angela McGlowan's Run for U.S. Represenative

The Field Negro is really going to think this is a nightmare. The person he wanted to debate from three years may make a run ….. For U.S. Representative.

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports McGlowan said at a Tupelo business luncheon Tuesday that an announcement would come after her contract with Fox expires.

McGlowan, an Oxford native, is a conservative and has spoken at several Tea Party rallies in Mississippi.

If she runs as a Republican, she would compete in a primary with state Sen. Alan Nunnelee of Tupelo, who’s been campaigning for months. Eupora Mayor Henry Ross has also said he might run as a Republican.

Childers, of Boonville, won a special election in mid-2008 after Republican Roger Wicker moved to the U.S. Senate. Childers won a two-year term in November 2008.

I had to really think on this one. It is more like a “part of my mind” situation.

25% of my mind think that this would be a disaster for her just because……yes she is African American female in a seriously dominated White community. No male or female of any ethnicity decent (Black, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Asian) have ever held a seat a high as this in North Mississippi unless you are from Holly Springs.

25% of my mind thinks this is the smartest move for her. Let’s face the facts. She can’t beat Eleanor Holmes Norton (The Robin to Ms. Fannie Lou Hamer) in DC. ; Mississippi State Sen. Alan Nunnelee makes Boss Hogg Haley Barbour, Pat Buchanan, and Rush Limbaugh look like real nice guys; I am still wondering who is Henry Ross and when Europa became bigger than Oxford, Tupelo, Southaven, or even Batesville for Al's sake; Travis Childers is a Blue Dog Democrat; and American people are more upset at the Obama Administration over things they hear from Fox News issues. She is really playing the Jack of Spades while all these jokers are running the 8, 9, and 10 on the last run.

25% of my mind thinks that she can’t really pull an Al Franken on this one. Though she is an Oxford Native and Ole Miss Grad, her creditability is really shot at being more hometown and DC. She left Oxford and became Miss DC. (Sorry, but the only African American ladies who state pageant that I can respect is my own, Toni Seawright and Kim Morgan, both Miss Mississippi). Many people in North Mississippi believe she is not really homegrown but DC clone (See Clinton LeSuer on this one). Plus she knows that inter-racial marriage is still taboo in Mississippi to Caucasian Americans (See Harold Ford on that one).

25% percent thinks that she could make history as being the first female to ever hold this position. I never got this but Condi Rice and Angela are starting to turn into trend-setters in the Good Ole’ Boy party GOP. It also breaks two age-old questions I have been pondering. Can any African American win a seat in a Caucasian- majority district? Can any African American Republican win anything in Mississippi though Mississippi GOP has severe ties with white hate-groups? (See European-American Unity and Rights Organization, Order of St. Andrew, and as usual the KKK) Well that I am interesting.

I might disagree with things that she said about how African-Americans are “Bamboozled,” but in my feeling, I really want her to run and win. There are so many questions coming about this election and I really believe she can shake things up not for any party, but for the ability to say no matter what party you are in; if you stick to your word, and really look at things in your area, you might get somewhere.

Needless to FYI that if she win, she is a representative in a real wealthy district, and Bennie Thompson who been the only African –American rep in Mississippi since ’96 is the representative of the poorest district in the South. What an oxymoron?

What are your thoughts about this? Should she run? Do you thing she will win? Do you think she has a chance?

McGlowan might jump into Miss. Congressional Race.
