So as advertised, I’m off to the airport. But here are some remains of the day:
* National Review‘s John Fund, who’s really on a tear about Mississippi, points a trembling finger at a Cochran flyer telling African-Americans the Tea Folk were trying to keep them from voting, and suggests it may have decided the election. Probably helped.
* Meanwhile, FiveThirtyEight’s Harry Enten estimates that Cochran would have lost by 25,000 without new African-American voters in his column.
* At the Prospect, Monica Potts explores HRC’s new “cool grandma” persona.
* At Ten Miles Square, Jonathan Bernstein downplays the odds of a GOP effort to impeach the president. I’m not so sure about that.
* At College Guide, Daniel Luzer observes that much-ballyhooed Starbucks college assistance plan is actually less generous than what the company once offered its employees.
And in non-political news:
* Shark found in park pond in Florida. Nothing surprises me that happens in that state.
That’s it for Wednesday. Let’s close with a cheerier song about the Magnolia State, Mountain’s “Mississippi Queen,” performed live in 1970 (there’s some non-germane Vietnam footage, presumably to illustrate the times, but they do eventually show the performance).
Selah.
