Patsy Brumfield of the Daily Journal talks to several of the state’s congressionals and candidates for Congress about the financial crisis. (Interestingly, the paper’s headline leaves out the name of senatorial candidate Erik Fleming of Jackson, who is also quoted in the piece. OK, we will refrain from pointing out that they left out the black candidate because we’re sure it was on oversight.) Anyway:
Mississippi’s senators aren’t speaking directly about what they want from a solution to the U.S. financial crisis. But four men, who want to be in Washington to deal with the problems in 2009 – Rep. Travis Childers, Southaven Mayor Greg Davis, former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove and Erik Fleming – have specifics about the situation, which sent Wall Street into a tailspin Monday after the U.S. House said no to a bailout plan.

Hey, check out this post on our new Business Blog. Isn’t it odd that Patsy Brumfield talked to four sitting or hopeful members of Congress from Mississippi, and only three of them get mentioned in the headline, and Erik Fleming gets left out?
