McDaniel seems to think state voters are incapable of separating truth from fiction
By: Sid Salter Okay, so the latest political tantrum from state Sen. Chris McDaniel operates on this narrative – he “demands” that Mississippi television stations stop running ads funded by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce which make the claim that McDaniel is a trial lawyer. McDaniel wants to be called “a civil defense attorney” while…

High court review of South Dakota case may provide bridge to new revenue in Mississippi
By: Sid Salter As state officials scramble for resources to address infrastructure concerns in the wake of the closure of over 100 Mississippi bridges deemed unsafe by federal authorities, the stance of some of those same state officials on collecting Internet sales taxes seems particularly relevant.

Special election offers Mississippi Democrats a shot at the Alabama Senate “miracle”
By: Sid Salter Mississippi Democrats are hoping for a repeat of the political “miracle” that handed their counterparts in Alabama a U.S. Senate seat last December. Alabama voters had not elected a Democrat to represent them in the U.S. Senate since 1986 when they chose current U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby. Shelby was elected as a…

An abortion rights group is suing the state of Mississippi over its abortion laws.

In U.S. Senate race, Hyde-Smith, McDaniel both have state Senate records to compare
By: Sid Salter On March 21, state Sen. Chris McDaniel sent yet another installment of an email blast for a fundraising come-on he entitled the “Remember Mississippi Moneybomb” in which he seeks $100,000 before a self-imposed “March 31st at Midnight” deadline. When last I checked the McDaniel “Moneybomb” web landing page on March 28, the…

In Hyde-Smith, McDaniel will face a tough, formidable opponent who can hit back
By: Sid Salter State Sen. Chris McDaniel said famously last month that “I’m looking for a fight” in either challenging incumbent Mississippi U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker’s re-election bid, running again for the seat held by U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran (that McDaniel narrowly lost in 2014) if and when he stepped down, or running for lieutenant…

Even GOP master strategist Karl Rove can’t predict clear or easy future of his party
By: Sid Salter During a quiet dinner here at a usually packed downtown restaurant rendered nearly vacant by spring break, I had an opportunity to break bread with one of the most fascinating and controversial figures in American politics in the last half-century – Karl Rove. Rove, 67, served as senior advisor to President George…

After 46 years on Capitol Hill, Cochran’s legacy is courage, compassion, and character
By: Sid Salter, Good Ole Boys Syndicate To say that I like, appreciate and admire U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran is a gross understatement. I think the majority of Mississippians – rich and poor, black and white, Democrat and Republican – share my affection for the senator. Quiet, thoughtful, extremely intelligent, and possessed of that…
