Bush in my town tomorrow.
He is visiting the Nissan plant in Canton, MS (right outside of Jackson) to talk up his Social (In)Security Reform. It also happens to be the day people will be going to the polls for the Dem. and Repub. primaries in municipal elections. I am sure our Interstates will be backed up with all of his security. Can't wait. (sarcasm)

2. Why doesn't he visit a GM or FORD plant?
Last I checked Nissan wasn't losing their shorts under his economy.

7. Not sure, but will ckeck it out. It will be Ruthug overload. Haley Barbour
(our Governor), Trent Lott, Chip Peickering, Thad Cochran. I believe it is for the employees of the Nissan plant, though.

6. Is the plant Unionized?
If so, all the Union people should wear something anti-bush to work tomorrow. Actually, they should even if it's not Unionized.

8. I am pretty sure they are unionized.
Too bad there probably aren't many people who aren't Bush supporters. Good idea though!

9. My advice is to leave town for the day.

He brings Secret Service, helicopters with guns, stops traffic all directions the entire length of his route... Trust me, you don't want to be in town tomorrow.

17. I live 4-5 miles from the plant and I'm just planning on staying home
tomorrow...My sympathy to your husband-its gonna be a real mess on the roads around there.

Are you following the mayor's race in Jackson? Voting is tomorrow and looks like a major upset may be in the making! I can't wait. We've got two interesting races in Canton, also.

13. My exact thoughts. Get some friends to be on the lookout -
you might get on a terrorist watch list if you're caught defacing potholes.
