Races find familiar competing interests
With the Neshoba County Fair now little more than a month away, the political speaking focus at the Founder’s Square Pavilion will be on Mississippi’s congressional general elections and the state’s “nonpartisan” elections for the appellate judiciary.
In the state’s congressional elections, incumbent GOP U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of Tupelo is a prohibitive favorite over 82-year-old Democratic challenger Albert N. Gore Jr. of Starkville.
A retired Methodist minister with a distinguished military record as a Green Beret chaplain and winner of both the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart medal, Mr. Gore has earned the right to be taken seriously in the campaign.
