This will be the last post I do on the ballot flap, I promise. I just could not pass up the
Hattiesburg American article from this morning that lamented the waste of money and time cause by our governor playing politics with the ballot.
What a huge waste of time and money the fight over where to place the U.S. Senate race on the November ballot turned out to be. It didn't take a lot of brainpower to realize that Gov. Haley Barbour and Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann were playing partisan politics with the ballot when they ordered the race between Republican Sen. Roger Wicker and Democratic challenger Ronnie Musgrove near the bottom of the ballot.
This pretty much sums it all up.
It was clear to all but the most naive that Barbour and Hosemann, both Republicans, were trying to help Wicker's candidacy - which, by the way, is being managed by one of the governor's nephews.
By putting the race near the bottom of the ballot, some voters may overlook it.
