Trent Lott's opponent - need help from Mississipians
Our State primary is 6 June. There are four candidates in the democratic primary to challenge lott in the general.

Bill Bowlin, Hickory Flat, Business Consultant
Eric Fleming, Clinton, State Rep
James O'Keefe, Long Beach, Businessman
Catherine Starr, Hattiesburg, Retired

I don't know anything about any of them. Your opinions and recommendations are respectfully solicited.

2. I know a very little about two of them Boss.....
Eric Fleming http://www.fleming2006.org/ is a gadfly of a state rep. He introduces lots of bills, few of which get serious consideration. My impression is that he's fairly progressive and he has been banned from local hate-radio "JT and Dave" for standing up to them on the air.

James O'Keefe is the son of a former mayor/state representative Jerry O'Keefe. He was progressive for the 1970's-80's, one of the good guys. Don't really know anything about his son.

The other two are total blanks. Most likely I'll wind up supporting Fleming.
