With under a week to go until the MS governor's primaries, Gene Taylor gets 2 major boosts.
-Retired NFL star and south Mississippi native Brett Favre will be making frequent campaign stops for Taylor. Favre, a celebrity in his home state, remains very popular in his native Gulf Coast region. In the past, Favre has made donations to Taylor (this is actually true) and now he has time to campaign. Favre will help Taylor consolidate his south Mississippi base and help voter turnout in the Democratic 2nd District by energizing black voters.
Oh god. Gene probably had to stop over at his house 50 times and kneel down in worship to him to get him to do it. And CNN probably gave him 24/7 news coverage.
