Mississippi Gov. Barbour To Announce Senate Appointment Today
We'll all find out today who the new senator from Mississippi is going to be. Gov. Haley Barbour (R) will announce who he is appointing to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Trent Lott, at 12 p.m. ET today.
After that, expect some legal wrangling with state Attorney General Jim Hood (D) over when the special election should be held to complete the rest of the term — Hood says it should take place within 90 days, while Barbour's position is that it can wait for the November 2008 general election.
Late Update: Barbour has appointed Congressman Roger Wicker.
