TUPELO – Democratic candidate Bill Luckett of Clarksdale, running for governor, told the Daily Journal editorial board just a few minutes ago that, if you don't count college, he's pretty much behaved himself ever since.

The Daily Journal will ask every editorial board interviewee if he or she has done anything, which if revealed could embarrass the candidate, his/her family or the state.

Frankly, Luckett is the first to appear to really think about his answer. Wednesday, Billy Hewes and Tate Reeves - GOP Lt. Gov. hopefuls – barely hesitated with their strong "No" responses.

Luckett laughed later, saying his college days couldn't count. I agreed, not that any of us from the 1960s remember much of that anyway. It's mostly mythology at this stage.

Stay tuned for more responses... patsy

This is a good question to ask only if you follow up on it. Do you really think that a canidate will tell the truth. I can just here someone like Tata saying "I've been wanting someone to ask me that question so I can tell you about my Washington affair or For Bill to say I used a lot of drugs in College. Not gonna happen.

You have to consider the source on this one. Patsy doing her best for another democrat.

And yes, his college days CAN count. They sure put it out there when Obama was running for president, and his "use" was in high school and college.

We will have another Republican governor, guaranteed.
