Kitchens - The Joke is on Mississippi

Jim Kitchens wants to be on the Mississippi Supreme Court. The key word there is Mississippi.

Kitchens, leaving worry behind, joked that if he could include the territory of a few other surrounding states it would be to his benefit. Kitchens said he is pleased with his campaign's progress. "The district touches Arkansas, Louisiana, and Alabama, and I think I'm running way ahead in all those states," he joked. (Madison County Herald, October 9, 2008)

About half of all of Kitchen's fundraising came from out of state, no joke. His campaign brought in more than $86,000 from outside Mississippi, where he apparently is doing very well, no joke. Today we should see his next finance report and see if in this election, the joke is on Mississippi.
