Politics are still black and white, but why?
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 9/10/7 Race has everything to do with politics in Mississippi and the South, but it is probably the least openly discussed factor. Discussed, yes. Openly, not. It is discussed and analyzed matter-of-factly by politicians and professionals in detail. The sad bottom line is, race matters. African Americans are elected in black districts…

This time around, debates slow to develop
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, 9/10/7 Less than two months before the Nov. 6 general election, there has been little talk, at least publicly, about candidate debates in the eight statewide races. At this stage of the process in previous elections, candidates – particularly underdogs – were holding news conferences to challenge their opponent to…

Senate should back dignity before partisanship as judicial hearings near
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 9/10/7 As many Mississippians know, confirming federal judges has become mired in partisan politics, driven primarily by special interest groups who see the judiciary as a means to enact their agenda. Recent developments give hope that it may be coming to an end. Liberal groups in particular have found their goals unpopular…

Barbour’s post-Katrina leadership shows
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 9/9/7 With recent news coverage of the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, it’s appropriate to recognize Gov. Haley Barbour’s leadership during and after the worst natural disaster in our nation’s history. Some people seem to have forgotten how bad Katrina was. Those who criticize the recovery effort should consider the following facts:…

In election year, now ethics is a priority?
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 9/9/7 Here’s a little news flash for those on both sides of the political fence who suddenly want to talk seriously about ethics laws and the enforcement of them on Mississippi elected officials and candidates: Neither Democrats nor Republicans in the Legislature have had any recent interest in the topic that wasn’t…

Southwick: Judicial vote is overdue
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 9/9/7 If Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid believes in that body’s time-honored committee system, he will set an October vote for Jackson lawyer Leslie Southwick’s confirmation to the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. The nomination of Southwick, 57, had been bottled up in the Democrat-majority Judiciary Committee and likely would have…

Hampton secondguesses Minor verdict/sentence
Minor case It is my opinion that there was too much of a political smell to this case. The extent the Republican Justice Department went to in going after a wealthy influential Democratic trial lawyer just seemed over the top. I’ve never seen anything like it. It was extraordinary. If we could only get that…

Senator Lott drawing fire again on race from civil rights groups
The Hill, 9/7/7 When Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) broke ranks and voted with Judiciary Committee Republicans in August to back the most contentious judicial nominee of the 110th Congress, she surprised nearly everyone with a stake in the battle. Everyone, perhaps, except Republican Whip Trent Lott of Mississippi. Prior to the vote, Feinstein didn’t inform…

Franks team leaks polling trying to make LG race appear close
In one of the oldest tricks in the book, the Franks campaign has pushed some favorable (paid) polling in the public domain via CottonMouth. This is to give the appearance that the race is much closer than it actually is. It is pretty surprising that this tactic is being deployed this early. Days before the…
