Medicaid: Showdown finally comes in January
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/24/8 The public has heard “The sky is falling!” so many times over Medicaid, it could very well tune it out, but a showdown really is looming in January.

Rivalries matter even with little on the line
Rivalries matter even with little on the line Throw out the record books. Please. Alright, alright, so this year’s batch of end-of-the-year rivalry showdowns, well, stinks. At least it does on paper. There aren’t any end-of-the-universe, this-year’s-game-of-the-millennium epics that’ll stop the world from spinning for a few short hours, but that doesn’t mean these games…

Congress: State delegation evolving
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/23/8 What’s congressional seniority worth to Mississippi? The state’s history shows that Mississippi’s congressional delegation has maintained its strength based on the wisdom the voters have shown in finding senators or congressmen they trusted and sticking with them.

State’s earmarks are very well spent
The Hattiesburg American Editorial, 11/23/8 Critics call it pork barrel politics when members of Congress send federal dollars back home for pet projects. And when the money is used to study the mating habits of some obscure animal, there may be good reason to call it pork. But the preferred term for federal money used…

Majority, seniority woes
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/23/8 Democrats will control the White House and hold dominating majorities in both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House in the 111th Congress.
