So this is what constitutes breaking news
Something called the Cotton Mouth blog breathlessly reports: “After years of having a governors debate in the year of statewide elections, the Mississippi Press Association will NOT offer a debate as previously planned between candidates Haley Barbour and John Arthur Eaves.”
The non-debate gets underway at 10:30 a.m. Friday, June 22.

This thing called Cotton Mouth is the place to be if you’re a progressive in Mississippi, or even if you’re just a plain old Democrat. You can check it out at cottonmouthblog.com. We’re averaging about 2500 hits a week and we’re on week 3. We’re the MS sources for the most influential national blogs around the country.
The definition of a debate is ” the formal discussion of a topic between two or more opposing speakers. ”
At no point will both Gov. Barbour and John Arthur Eaves appear on the same stage with each other. Thus eliminating that “opposing speakers” part. It’s a series of speeches. We’ve seen the letter.
And we don’t do breathless.
