John Conyers and National Dems attempt to rescue Ronnie Musgrove
Dem calls for ballot probe House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers said it was a “blatant violation” of the Voting Rights Act for Gov. Haley Barbour to separate the special election from other federal races, including a regular election for Mississippi’s other U.S. Senate seat. “The Mississippi governor does not get to change the rules…

MS Supreme Court schedules oral arguments on Ronnie Musgrove ballot fight for 9/17 at 11:30
Today, NMC @ FOLO reports that the MSSC has scheduled oral arguments in the Ronnie Musgrove initiated ballot fight. This makes perfect sense. The eyes of the national media are watching. My sense is that most of the MSSC know which way they will vote and that this will start lining up on traditional lines…

Advice to Obama: no Foxworthy
Did you see the Charlie Gibson interview with Sarah Palin? The pundits were promptly on the tube saying things like “she did all right, but you can tell she had been prompted and pumped full of information.” Well, DUH. What politician goes for a national interview without being briefed (pumped full of information) and prompted…

SALTERBLOG – Hood’s brief, Brennan Center letter assume Miss. still votes on paper ballot. We don’t
Hood’s amicus brief, Brennan Center letter both assume Miss. still votes on paper ballots. We don’t. The argument is not only moot, it’s bogus. A Mississippi voter casting his or her ballot on a Diebold voting machine cannot skip voting in any race without the machine bringing it to their attention before they can proceed…

Republicans denied that McCain favors special-interest groups and countered that Democrats also are linked with lobbyists. McCain faces Sen. Barack Obama in a debate Sept.…

Barbour, Hosemann playing ballot games
The Hattiesburg American Editorial, 9/16/8 Hypocrites, thy names are Haley Barbour and Delbert Hosemann. Not that we should be surprised. In politics, it’s all about who is most deft, and fast, in manipulating the system to gain any advantage. It’s a numbers game, and with the GOP in danger of losing several more U.S. Senate…
