Dems will shape Miss. judiciary makeup
The Clarion-Ledger, 11/17/8 Mississippi’s federal judiciary could undergo a dramatic change under an Obama administration. For decades, Sen. Thad Cochran and former Sen. Trent Lott, both conservative Republicans, helped pick the judges that sit on federal courts in Mississippi.

Musgrove lost to Barbour machine twice
The Hattiesburg American Editorial, 11/17/8 Democrat Ronnie Musgrove has run for two different statewide offices during the past five years, but he essentially lost the same campaign twice. Both times, Republicans pounded Musgrove on economic issues. And both times, Musgrove worked hard but did a weak job of defending his own record. In 2003, Musgrove…

Republicans ask: Just how bad is it?
Politico.com, 11/17/8 Party leaders agree that the GOP has had a rough go of it at the polls in recent years. How could they not? Since 2004, Republicans have gone from 55 Senate seats to no more than 43 once this year’s last winners are determined, and from a 29-seat edge in the House to…

Thompson AWOL from Musgrove campaign?
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/16/8 The small matter of the allegedly bogus Hinds County Democratic sample ballot has yet to be officially explained to anyone’s particular satisfaction, but suffice it to say that it is one piece in a political puzzle that makes for interesting speculation about why Democrat Ronnie Musgrove lost his Senate race with…

Down, dirty judicial races: Elections reshape Supreme Court
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/16/8 What happened in Mississippi’s 2008 judicial elections happened all over the country. State elections for Supreme Court justices ended 2008 much as they began, punctuated by runaway spending, partisan pressure, angry accusations and costly, secretly-funded ads by third-party special interests that often drowned out the candidates. Four incumbent Mississippi Supreme Court…

Courts: Judicial races demean courts
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/16/8 This state’s judicial elections continue to demean the dignity of the court and to see voters manipulated by special interest groups seeking to hold sway over the judicial philosophies of the courts. The 2008 judicial elections in the state were a textbook case for why judges should be appointed, not elected.…

Obama got most votes, and also editorials
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/16/8 Some post-election thoughts now that we’ve had some time to really take in the amazing , things we have just witnessed: Endorsements are controversial and I did get some comments from those who disagreed with The Clarion-Ledger’s endorsement of President-elect Barack Obama.

Elections give Mississippi Republicans reasons to gloat
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, 11/17/8 Mississippi Republicans clearly are not as glum as their counterparts nationwide. All in all, the Nov. 4 elections were good for Mississippi Republicans – except that Democrat Barack Obama won the presidency and Democrats strengthened their majorities in both the U.S. House and Senate. Despite those setbacks, the state…
