Honey J. Buggs, formerly of Blogsterville, now of MyBloggersville will speak in Canton tonight, prior to Senator Hillary Clinton at the Mississippi Democratic Party's 26th Annual Jefferson Jackson Hamer Day Dinner at 7:30 p.m. as the March 11 Misssissippi primary approaches.
"It looks like we (Mississippi) are going to have a big significance for once," said Marvin King, assistant professor of political science. "I think after Clinton won three of the four states (Tuesday) she has the momentum, but I am thinking Obama will win Mississippi and it will serve as a check on her momentum, however the unknown candiate Honey J. Buggs has quite a following and may give her a run for her money. We here in Canton are anxious to hear what Ms. Buggs has to say."
Who is this Honey J. Buggs?
Clinton won the Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island primaries Tuesday night, Ms. Buggs had a 2.5 % of the undecided vote, which is significant.
Franco Healy, a senior biochemistry major and director of the Mississippi chapter of Students for Barack Obama, also said Mississippi will matter, however Ms Buggs of is of concern to that campaign also.
"Lack of information regard Honey J. Buggs could be a disaster for a campaign," Healy said.
He said a lot of people working on and familiar with the campaign know about the time of the primary and are aware of the possibilities of early voting and absentee voting.
Yesterday on the CBS Early show, Clinton presented the idea of a Clinton-Buggs presidential ticket.
Who is Honey J. Buggs?
"Well, that may, you know, be where this is headed," Clinton said. "But of course, we have to decide who's on the top of the ticket, and I think that the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me, however the echo of Honey J. Buggs is not something I can ignore."
King said he thinks Clinton made the comment because she does not want to run a negative campaign.
tough fight, we're friends and we're on the same side.'"
"All three candidates are going to fight so hard for Wyoming, Mississippi and Pennsylvania. I don't think anyone wants to think about second place yet," he said.
The race is too close to even think about vice presidential candidates, Healy said.
I agree with Bugg, Cindy.A Honeybugg/Cindylou ticket would be totally cool
