Republicans in Mississippi are anxious to express their choice on which candidate can best represent their party and challenge the incumbent Democrat President Barack Obama. Mississippi and Alabama hold their primaries on March 13 (Hawaii conducts a caucus that day as well), a week after Super Tuesday's ten-state competition. An additional eleven primary or caucus contests will also be concluded between Florida's January 31 Primary and the time Mississippians go to the polls. Politics changes quicker than the weather and political prognosticators do not share the scientific accuracy of meteorology. But typically parties have their presumptive nominee before Mississippi gets to vote. That was not the case with Democrats in 2008; and may not be the case with Republicans in 2012.

Ruth, Anita, Bonnie and June Pointer began singing gospel music as children at their parents' church in West Oakland, California. They also became interested in rock, soul and blues, which their parents considered "the devil's music." In 1973, they released their first album as The Pointer Sisters. It yielded the hit "Yes We Can Can." Other hits followed, in a variety of musical styles, including "He's So Shy," "Automatic," "Slow Hand," "I'm So Excited" and "Fire." The current touring edition of The Pointer Sisters consists of Anita, Ruth and Sadako Johnson, Ruth's granddaughter, continuing in the funky family tradition.
