$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.

Election is no guide in next year’s national race
The Clarion-Ledger Editorial, 11/11/7 Whatever we may think this general election says about the future of politics in Mississippi, it gives us no help at all in understanding what is going on in the rest of America.

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. In the state Senate, Republicans began the night with the slimmest of margins at 27-25, meaning a one seat swing would result in an evenly divided chamber.…

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. Bush spiked the measure Friday despite its overwhelming bipartisan support, calling it too costly and complaining that the 900 projects it authorized would overtax the Army Corps of Engineers.

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. Gov.-elect Phil Bryant wants to change that, this year, to save taxpayers money. Bryant on Wednesday unveiled his first initiative, to persuade lawmakers to shorten the upcoming legislative session,…
