$25.2M spent on election contests
The Clarion-Ledger, 11/11/7 Candidates running for Mississippi’s eight statewide offices spent more than $25.2 million this election year, according to campaign finance reports.

The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/11/7 Before last Tuesday, Republicans held five of the eight statewide offices. Since Tuesday, make the count seven of eight. Not so in the Legislature.

Senate overrides Bush’s water bill veto
CNN, 11/8/7 The Senate on Thursday handed President Bush his first veto override — authorizing $23 billion in new water projects.

New Legislature: Shorter session is sensible
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/9/7 Every four years, the Mississippi Legislature meets for 120 days, rather than 90 days, as instructed by the state’s constitution, but Lt.
