<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nFolks have been asking about the status of Flemron Dickey<\/a>‘s Congressional race in Mississippi’s 1st CD. Well, the Clarion-Ledger<\/a> says that his Republican opponent is just coming out of surgery to remove a mass from his brain and he intends to run his campaign from a hospital bed, so I’m thinking he’s not too worried;<\/p>\n Nunnelee\u2019s campaign consultant, Morgan Baldwin, said the congressman\u2019s main focus now is on recovery rather than campaigning, although he said Nunnelee has always believed \u201cthe best-run campaign is a well-run, efficient office.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Flemron’s local Democrat Party honcho still thinks that he should drop out;<\/p>\n Nunnelee\u2019s Democratic challenger, Ron Dickey of Horn Lake, has never held public office, has raised only $6,000 in campaign cash, is working his way out of bankruptcy and is still trying to shake criticism from Special Forces veterans who say Dickey misrepresented his own military service by falsely claiming to be a \u201cGreen Beret Veteran of Desert Storm.\u201d<\/p>\n And there\u2019s this inconvenient fact: The chairman of Mississippi Democratic Party, Rickey Cole, has publicly called on Dickey to drop out of the race. Cole said Dickey, 43, should focus on earning money and getting out of debt.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can either be a full-time candidate or you can have a full-time job, but you can\u2019t really do both,\u201d Cole said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yeah, well, you can’t really cook for an entire Special Forces Group and still defeat Saddam Hussein’s Republican Guards at the same time, but Flemron showed us all what he’s made of in those dark days – so I have hope for him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
