Repeat after me: Alabama is undefeated
Repeat after me: Alabama is undefeated Remember the phrases Alabama players were asked to say about themselves this summer? “I am an excellent pass blocker.

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.

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…

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.
