  • Mississippi: Conservative Ideologues Battle the Party of Inclusion
    Mississippi: Conservative Ideologues Battle the Party of Inclusion James Newman, Stephen D. Shaffer, and David A. Breaux Republican grassroots party activists in Mississippi constitute an essentially conservative, higher income, middle aged, and white male organization, which has become even more so since 1991. Democrats are a truly biracial party with equal numbers of men and women and a more middle class background, but it has become more liberal since 1991 due to the influx of more African- Americans into the organization. Compared to Republicans, Democrats have a more professional orientation geared towards winning elections rather than fighting for ideological purity, and have become increasingly active over the last decade to meet the growing GOP electoral challenge. Introduction As Mississippi enters the 21st century, the state of party competition is light years removed from the era of one-party Democratic domination described by V.O. Key (1949). Today, a well-organized and generously funded state Republican Party spearheads a GOP effort that has won every presidential election in the Magnolia State since 1980, that controls both of the state’s U.S. Senate seats, two of the four U.S. House seats, and has won two of the last four gubernatorial contests. Yet party realignment has been “delayed” in less visible state and local offices, as extensively developed local Democratic parties and ideologically inclusive candidates have con- tributed to Mississippi remaining one of only three or four southern states where Democrats continue to overwhelmingly control state legislative, non- gubernatorial executive offices, and local offices (Shaffer, Pierce, and Kohnke 2000). At this critical juncture when both parties are battling for the hearts and minds of the state’s citizenry, it is particularly vital to study the party warriors who make up the two parties’ grassroots organizations.

Introduction The question of race and its place in American life can appear in the most unpredictable and the most predictable places. We could not have predicted our encounter with the ire and laughter raised in the midst of the Martin Luther King Day 2006 comments of New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin. Mayor Nagin spoke of the will of God in the creation and recreation of New Orleans as a "chocolate city," 2 meaning a city populated mostly by African Americans, in the wake of the worst natural disaster in modern American history - Hurricane Katrina. 3 Nor could we have predicted that national and 1.

The private plaintiffs have consented to the filing of this brief. As of the final preparation of this brief, the United States and the respondents had yet to state positions. The moving parties, six of whom testified at the 1987 trial in this case, desire to draw this Court's attention to evidence in the record showing that they and other Afro-American citizens attending the University of Mississippi have been the subject of extensive harassment. This evidence demonstrates that Afro-American citizens have not had "real free choice" to attend the University of Mississippi, and, more generally, that the vestiges of discrimination persist at the state's first university.

JUDICIAL SELECTION - WHAT IS RIGHT FOR MISSISSIPPI? Lenore L. Prather* I. JUDICIAL SELECTION METHODS Judicial selection in the fifty states is either by election or by appointment. There are many variations of these two methods. Elections may be partisan or nonpartisan. Appointment may be by governor or legislature with or without nominations by a judicial nominating commission. If appointed and in a few cases if elected, a judge may be subject to a retention election which may be opposed or unopposed, partisan or nonpartisan. In some states, a judge is reap- pointed by either the governor or the legislature. Many states have a hybrid sys- tem which allows for appointment of some judges and election of others. A. Initial Terms 1. Legislative Appointment/Election Judicial selection in a few states is by legislative appointment or election. These states are Connecticut, South Carolina, and Virginia. In Connecticut, judges are appointed by the general assembly following nomination by the governor who selects the nominee from a list of candidates submitted by a judicial selection commission.' In South Carolina, judges are elected by a majority vote of the gen- eral assembly2 upon nominations submitted by the Judicial Merit Selection Commission.3 In Virginia, judges are chosen by a majority vote of the general assembly.4 2.
