But I guess you don't know this, Hanaway and Jennifer Joyce are best buds. Those girls go way back as friends so maybe they're in this together for Hubbard. Afterall, he's a not much closeted Republican and we know what Hanaway is. Thanks for the info Someone Who Knows. But I guess you don’t know this, Hanaway and Jennifer Joyce are best buds.

Johnson, she however still holds the trump cards. The Prosecuting Attorney (the position is actually Circuit Attorney), Jennifer Joyce is supporting Rodney Hubbard in the 5th Senatorial District race.

Johnson to get into the race because he was concerened with a heads-up race against Rep. Wright-Jones. It has been said that the leadership of the 27th Ward are in a power struggle with other Black (primarily Northside) elected officials and turned their back on Rep. Jones because she wouldn’t get out off the Senate race. I’m so glad I moved South! Keep up the fight Robin - but watch your back girl. — Someone Who Knows 5:13 am May 16th, 2008 Greg~
