A whole generation knows him as the voice of “American Greed.”

In Mississippi, today is the deadline for voters who had photo ID issues on Election Day to return to the circuit clerk’s office and present a valid ID to “cure” their ballots.
It’s also the deadline for late arriving mail-in absentee ballots to arrive at the clerk’s office.

GOP Sen. John Cornyn after meeting with James Talarico:
“I offered to help him during the transition. His politics & my politics are very different, but he deserves to have a fair opportunity to make the case as the next Senator. I'm trying to be helpful”
Respectfully, one wonders if AP would have already called this race back in an era when it had a robust presence of reporters and editors here.
Why it’s still too early for the @AP to call the U.S. Senate race in Mississippi apnews.com/article/mississip…

At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other “prognosticators” who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long.
They’re only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when they’re wrong. One of their “analysts” was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when he’s never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.

Credit where it's due: I was deeply worried about the changes to "60 Minutes" this season, but Douthat does a good job putting tough questions to Trump. And he benefits mightily from a president who is actually a bit contemplative — no matter how awful his answers.
Two thoughts on this:
1. A man so consumed with hatred that he’d rather go to hell than forgive his enemies is a tragedy. I’d pity him if he was my neighbor or president.
2. This is the most interesting Trump interview I’ve seen in a long time. Feeling good about my prediction that @Douthat60 would be great on 60 Minutes.

It’s frustrating to see all these conflicting “reports” on who the new Bond is, but not too long ago we were begging for progress on the next film. It’s times like these that prove (once again) that 007 is a cinematic icon that everyone wants to be a part of.

I think impeachment is a mistake. Call it negative conditioning. But it nevertheless is interesting to contemplate—yet again.
Wow. Nolan Finley, editorial editor of the Detroit News and a solid conservative voice on its pages for decades, says loud and clear what many Republicans are quietly thinking:

The most surprising part of Mississippi’s electoral map is that Democrat Scott Colom has flipped DeSoto County, a traditionally GOP stronghold that’s a Memphis suburb.
Colom didn’t win it by 1 or 2 points - he’s currently winning it by 6 percentage points.
Bobby Harrison: Put simply, if Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith had performed as well as she did in 2020 in that one county – DeSoto – she would not be staring at a potential history-making upset.

Clever. Trump is desperate to put his name on something that will outlast him. Medicare for all or social security reform would be bigger deals than half-assed Kennedy Center renovations.
