Poll gives Wicker lead over Musgrove
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, 12/19/7 It’s not science, but a recent poll of 600 Mississippi voters shows U.S. Rep. Roger Wicker of Tupelo might do pretty well in a head-to-head Senate race against former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove.

FOLO – Loose ends, theirs and ours
Loose ends, theirs and ours I’ve said before that I don’t envy the lawyers who’ve taken on the defense of the Scruggs accuseds.

Hood disappointing
Hood disappointing Since when does the chief law enforcement officer of a state have to be asked? He should be at the federal attorney’s door begging to help. The same Clarion-Ledger article said “Hood won’t say if he is pursuing state bribery charges…” Again, he should be pursuing these guys with the same vigor as…
