Southern Political Report: Did Landrum Vote?

Southern Political Report - Mississippi: Did Congressional Candidate Landrum Vote in 2003? - David Landrum, a wealthy businessman who has poured some $500,000 of his own money into the campaign for the GOP nomination to succeed US Rep. Chip Pickering (R), but his momentum has been slowed by allegations that he did not vote in 2003 or in the elections since then. Landrum, who is dominating the TV air waves in this eight-candidate contest, made the matter worse when his campaign released documents from the voter roll for 2003 that included the signatures of Landrum and his wife. Then the Jackson Clarion-Ledger revealed they were not genuine signatures. Now the betting is that on March 11, former favorite Landrum will be forced into an April 1 runoff with either ex-Pickering staffer John Rounsaville; state Sen. Charlie Ross, a 2007 contender for lieutenant governor; or Gregg Harper, Rankin County GOP chairman.
