Ray Mabus’ rebound

Ray Mabus’ rebound

Plenty of people wrote off Ray Mabus in 1991 when he lost his bid for a second term as Mississippi governor. The Democrat was only 43 at the time — pretty young for a has-been.

Turns out, it was a mistake for critics to declare his career over.

Mabus, who turned 61 on Sunday, has enjoyed a second and third turn on the political stage in appointed jobs that have taken him far beyond the borders of Mississippi.
