After RNC, Ole Miss is the next showdown

The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 9/7/8

Now that the Republican National Convention has wrapped it up in St. Paul, Minn., and the world now knows far more than it ever thought it might about Wasilla, Alaska, the focal point of presidential politics is the Ole Miss campus.

Now that the most exciting thing at Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium is once again the Denver Broncos, all eyes are on the Mississippi town of Oxford.

The formalities are over. Running mates have been chosen. The internecine rituals of the vanquished praising the victors have been observed and the process has played out the string. Now, it’s time to get it on – Mississippi style.
